Large, magnificent and rare floral pendant earrings studded with old-cut diamonds and diamond roses, totalling ca. 6.7 ct, and natural pearls. The upper parts can be worn separately and comprise two probably natural half-pearls, ca. 9.9 mm in diameter, with detachable lower parts comprising two natural, drop-shaped saltwater pearls, one slightly brown measuring 11.6 - 11.75 x 17 mm, 15 ct (60 grains), and the other slightly cream-coloured measuring 10.75 - 11.6 x 17.7 mm, 14 ct (56 grains). The drops are pierced and, as was customary for large natural pearls at the time, „partly worked“. Central parts can also be detached. With small areas of repair on the eyelets on the reverse. In antique case.
