Estimated at 2.8-3ctw. One of the earrings needs a new lever back, which I know my guy can do, so I decided to lowball them and to my surprise they accepted!

So exciting! Can’t wait to see photos when you receive them!

The earrings arrived and they are sparkly, and sweet, and so old! Many of the stones have flea bites, but it doesn't appear to affect their performance at all, and the prongs seem to be in good shape.


The bad news is...they don't really fit on my ears. The ear wires are simply too short. There's no clearance between my lobe and the cluster. Don't know if you can see from this really bad photo.


So I'm going to have to figure something out. Looking at these for inspiration.

They are very pretty and the stones look really nice. What does the back of the earrings look like?

Once upon a time they may have had lever backs, but no more.

 

[Lookinagain]

Do you want lever backs or could you just have a longer wire put on? That would probably be the most economical way. Would that be safe enough? I don't have any earrings that are just hooks so don't know if those are prone to falling out.

ETA from the look of the photo is doesn't look to me like any pieces are missing.

It looks like they sawed the enclosure off. I think either way it’s a simple fix! Do you want similar antique sleeper style or do you want them articulated? Would be easy to do when making the repair. They are stunning.

Definitely articulated. I like some movement.

Definitely articulated. I like some movement.

Super easy to add a little hoop and a shepherds hook, though I might want a clasp closure for safety.

I bought these earrings about 2 weeks ago from a member and just picked them up this weekend from the jeweler. I had posts added to the clips, so they are Omega post backs now and not just clips. I think they are really nice!

Those are a wonderful find. Easy enough fix to have some movement in them!

It’s done! It was supposed to be delivered this past Friday but of course FedEx did its thing and never did so I’m picking it up today. In the meantime, I’ve just been staring at the video DK uploaded.

They look absolutely lovely on you. So happy that you are enjoying them. I knew they were too pretty to stay in the dark in my jewelry drawer and your picture proves it!

This is so pretty! Congratulations… truly a spectacular ring…… LOVE!

I did a thing.. In a few weeks, I'll be holding (and wearing!) my new RHR. 1.15 carats of diamonds, I believe 11mm wide, and 14k gold

I picked up this pretty Martin Flyer engraved band to stack with my set. I was so lucky to find it preloved in my size

Invoice is paid, and restoration project will be starting within a couple weeks.

An Incredible Antique Jewelry Box
… one that along with Flora, will be passed down to my son one day

Words cannot express how excited I am for this. Morgane from The Antique Secret is truly a rare gem. Her passion for antique boxes is a gift to the world of antiques. The incredibly talented Maria from The Antique Box Atelier will be looking at the box next week sometime to see what it needs for the full restoration. I’m hoping to preserve and restore the leather and gilding, Morgane is on a mission to find an antique key, replace the worn silk and trade the green velvet for a light aqua velvet - this will open the door for customizing compartments which I would love to start a thread to get everyone’s ideas… I just don’t know which forum to put the thread in…

Without further ado,

Whaaaaaaattttt!!!! I absolutely LOVE IT!!! It's like a princess's jewelry box!

Thank you! I’m so excited! I’ve been looking since January and these are SO hard to find, and when Morgane posted the box, I immediately got the same flutters when I saw Flora for the first time… I can’t believe this incredible box will be on my nightstand.

Do you think I can put a thread in SMYB? It’s not really bing… but there will be bling in it lol…. Or the antique forum?

I’m hoping for some advice on compartment layout design and fabrics … I get so overwhelmed with creative things, cause I’m so not…. And I only have a few pieces, so I would like to have the box with a spot for things as my collection grows.

I think the antique forum would probably be best. Squee!!! So exciting!!
