Antique 18K Solid Gold and Platinum Art Deco Rose Earrings c. 1910 powder_box_pendant the story is a sadThese lovely early Art Deco earrings are full of charm. Featuring a platinum topped scalloped frame which surrounds a small rose, they have a classic feminine charm. The earrings close with an early leverback closure popular at the turn of the century in which the hinge passes through the back of the ear and attaches to a rivet at the top of the earring. They have been tested for 18k gold purity which is the standard for France during this period.
