Rare Edwardian Peridot and Pearl Day-to-night Earrings in 9ct Gold

A charming and unusually versatile pair of Edwardian earrings, made in England in the early 20th century. Bright green round-cut peridots sit in fine milgrain-edged settings, complemented by delicate pearls and detachable lower drops. The earrings can be worn at a shorter length for daytime or with the drops attached for a more decorative evening look. Their fresh colour and graceful proportions make them a particularly appealing example of Edwardian jewellery that is still easy to wear. They test as 9ct gold (375) and are in excellent antique condition, with no losses, replacements or restorations. Measurements: 38 mm long including the ear wire; 35 mm excluding it; 26 mm in the shortened form. Upper peridots approx. 5 mm diameter; lower detachable drops approx. 7 mm. Weight: 2.72 g the pair. Period: Edwardian, early 20th century.
