Product description

These antique filigree stud earrings are a beautiful example of traditional European silversmithing. The refined filigree work consists of carefully twisted metal wires that together form an intricately detailed floral motif.

Although we were unable to find a silver hallmark, the craftsmanship, colour and construction strongly suggest that the earrings are made of silver. To be completely transparent, we offer them as likely silver.

Thanks to their compact size, the earrings are subtle to wear, while their refined details immediately catch the eye. They suit both everyday outfits and special occasions and offer a stylish alternative to modern jewellery.
