  • Have you found a treasure throve somewhere :-)? That's absolutely gorgeous!

  • Thanx betty....no teeasure throve outta here....just relentlessly combing internet, shops and flea markets!!! sometimes it pays.
  •  I had a necklace like this for sale for years and no one cared a hoot about it.  I finally had to work it into a necklace that i designed for some one to use it up !  These are so rare .I kept one with a reliquary for myself and some earrings otherwise they are impossible to find. I got mine from a dealer from London. I purchased a group at one time. The last time I have seen them for sale. That was about 20 years ago now.

  • I am polishing them right now and they turn out to have the most outstanding gilt shades i have ever seen

    heavy as well for a total of 250 gr.

    I have two pairs of earrings, these are gilt silver i need to re photograph them the photos are not good.

  • Inside they have cloth. i"ll take new photos and post them.. I wish I had more too I love them!

  • Linda, your earrings below are something (very similar) that I saw on eBay some months ago.  Wish I had remembered to bid; they were quite reasonable.
