Victorian era 18k gold pearl star sleeper earrings

We know that we had a penchant for all things celestial, and stars are among our favorites. Coco Chanel once famously declared: “I want to cover women in constellations! With stars! Stars of all sizes!”

These very beautiful antique diamond sleeper earrings in solid 18k gold are classic jewelry items. They can complement virtually any outfit, while displaying an arresting degree elegance. Mounted in 18k sold gold, they have a creamy pearl in the center to lighten up the whole star.

They will come with their original beautiful Bordeaux red leather box.

The earrings have ear wire for pierced ears.

The sleeper earrings (or dormeuse in French) were often worn to bed to keep the earlobe hole from closing during the mourning period of Queen Victorian, when ears were covered by hair and could not be seen. They are hence very comfortable to be worn.
