Description

Country Maiden are 14-18 karat Yellow Gold Victorian Enamel Porcelain Maiden Wire Earrings.  These beauties are Country Maiden’s painted in enamel on Porcelain.  One is gracefully gesturing while the other is holding a basket of Strawberries.  The background is a pale blue and the Maiden’s are done in bright beautiful hues.  Each bezel set porcelain Maiden is teardrop shaped and surrounded by an elaborate border of leaves and swirls in high color 18 karat Yellow Gold.  The wires are 14 karat Yellow Gold.  There is a little damage to the Maiden with the basket at the top, a little section of the porcelain is missing (not very noticeable with the naked eye).  They are being sold “as is”.  However, due to their age,  this does not detract from their value or rarity.  They are priced accordingly.  These Earrings measure     2 1/4″ x  7/8″.   Circa 1880’s.
