Beautiful French Antique Victorian 18K pearl diamond dome sleeper earrings

For sale a lovely pair of French antique 18k gold sleeper earrings. The earrings have a very enchanting design with a rounded dome form, highlighted by two beautiful layers of natural seed pearls. On the third layer and in the center of the earrings are two rose cut diamonds on each side. They are so sparkling that they add a delicate touch of dazzling into the earrings. We also enjoy looking at the elegant contrast between the creamy color of the pearls, the brightness of the diamonds and the buttery warm gold hue of the 18K gold mounting. The earrings have a lever-back closure for pierced ears.

These earrings are timeless and classic jewelry items which complement virtually any outfit and will be a lovely piece of jewelry to add into your collection. They will also make a wonderful Valentine’s day gift!

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 and can be paired easily with any outfit.
