About the piece
A pair of French antique dormeuse earrings with natural pearls set at the centre of unusual elongated faceted warm coloured gold forms. The surface is made up of curved, scooped facets that catch the light and create an almost eight-pointed star effect across the front, softened by the elongated shape. A fine zig-zag engraved border follows the outer edge, adding another layer of detail to the design.
A lovely pair for someone who likes the softness of pearl earrings but wants something a little more distinctive than a classic pearl design.
