About the piece
A sweet dinky pair of French antique "dormeuses" earrings, featuring turquoise-coloured cabochons set in rich yellow gold. The combination of blue and golden yellow is particularly lovely, as colours that bring out the best in one another, making both pop.
The cabochons sit within delicate buttercup-style settings, with six petals and six claws framing each stone. Their small size makes them perfect for everyday wear, while the vibrant colours makes sure they do not get forgotten!
