18K Gold Geometric Pendant Earrings with Polychrome Enamel

Created in the 1860s, these long antique pendant earrings are composed of 18K gold, enamel and split seed pearls. Each is designed as a navette-shaped top enclosing a hemisphere, suspending flexibly-set stepped, open, and interlocking oval, navette, spherical, triangular and rectangular elements, and a tapering drop, with star-set split seed pearl highlights and reddish-orange and royal blue enamel accents. Feather light and charming, these complex earrings full of movement lend warmth and intrigue to the hair and face.
