These intricately made 18k yellow gold earrings are made from open-worked spheres, which are set with tiny cannetille decorations. They are still housed in their original red box!
Their design is called 'Day to Night', because the circular drop can easily be removed, making it wearable in two ways.
The hook earrings are fashioned in a way that was typical for the early 19th Century, with a tension hook that fastens in the front, which threads through your lobe from the back to the front.
