Scheherazade 22k Gold Antique Earrings Pinwheel
22k Gold Antique Earrings
Straits Chinese 22k gold antique earrings set with diamonds weighing 2ctw.
These pendant earrings are very unique, a pinwheel top and filigree dangle.
A pair like this, bigger than typical Chinese dangles, could be from its Indian influence, seen through its dappled gold sheet work.
The ‘feathered’ dangles of the pinwheel display its hand-cut diamonds like a glass wind chime.
These pendant earrings are weighted by their diamonds, few but not small, hence they wear stoically and are not flimsy.
The magic in this pair is how its pinwheel top is ‘sticky’ and its windy drop ‘light’.
The pinwheel sits flat on the earlobes, a golden ‘foil’ that drapes a shimmering filigree.
Ornamental and organic, this pair has an extremely striking shape, there is none quite similar.
If you are looking for a pair of dangle earrings, delicate and only semi ornate, this pair is golden Scheherazade.
The earrings measure 4.3cm by 1.8cm.
The Chinese hallmarks on the pinwheel dates to be over 80 years old.
The diamond weight is only for the four full cut diamonds, excluding the organic diamonds.
