French late-19th-century 18k gold dormeuse earrings with garnet
This pair of French dormeuse earrings from the late 19th century is crafted in 18k solid gold, set with garnet and pearls.
Each earring centers on a hand-cut garnet of rich, saturated red, its facets slightly irregular in symmetry, retaining the character of antique gem-cutting. The garnet is framed by a halo of pearls in milgrained collets, forming a delicate floral motif. The buttercup-style base beneath the garnet mirrors the rounded pearl border, giving the design a softly curved outline. Light and slender in form, the earrings carry a refined air, while the vivid garnet color lends them a touch of opulence.
