An outrageous pair of European earrings, possibly Austrian, featuring wonderful old mine cut diamonds with natural pearls. These sculptural bow earrings are hefty examples of the 19th century fascination with bijoux tromp l’oeille de tissue, or jewels that mimic the nature of fabric. Existing between an early surrealism and novelty jewelry, these bows are lavishly decorated on the reverse. They are exceptional with natural pearls and old mine cut diamonds.
