These fabulous earrings were made in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s. Each earring features one single cut pyrope garnet, bezel set into 900 silver covered in gold. The openwork, minimal design means these earrings go well for all ages and outfits. A great pair of earrings for January babies!
Bohemian garnets came from Bohemia‘s hills in Czechoslovakia and were very popular from the 1820s to the 1920s with the European upper-class. To learn more about Bohemian garnets, read our blog post here:
The earrings are in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The gold plate‘s surface has fine lines and marks, nothing visible or obvious, and the plate has slightly worn around the edges on the front. The garnet is not chipped or cracked and does not wiggle in the mounting. The ear wires are a little asymmetric but are easy to bend and manipulate; they are delicate. The lever backs are fully functional and do not stick. The earrings are stamped with a rabbit‘s head and the number 3, the Czechoslovakian fineness mark for 900 silver for 1955-1965.
The earrings measure 3/4" tall and 1/4" wide. The box is for display only.
