Vintage Ruby Star Dormeuse Earrings
A beautiful and unusual pair of earrings from the mid 20th Century. The earrings are made from solid 18kt gold and seem to be a combination of white and yellow gold. They have an incredible layered flower shape creating lovely texture in their design. The layering of the gold has a slightly artisan feel and perhaps the flowers started as white gold that has tarnished a little over time. The effect is striking and unusual and adds a certain charm to this unusual pair of earrings. The central look is a star with a stunning pink ruby at the centre. The rubies are bright and vibrant and are a pretty focus at the centre of the earrings. The earrings have dormeuse fastenings making them very secure in the ear and are certainly very pretty.
