The style of earrings is called 'Day to Night', because drops can easily be removed, making them wearable in two ways.
They are designed in the fashion of the mid-19th Century, with puffy scroll-like features. The tops are set with three rose-cut garnets in a clover pattern, while the removable drops are set with a more elaborate floral pattern of rose-cut garnets and seed pearls. Their style and the materials used point to them being made in Germany.
The hook earrings are fashioned in a way that was typical for the 19th Century, with a tension hook that fastens in the front, which threads through your lobe from the back to the front.
