Birds Of Paradise - Georgian Napoléon II French 14K Gold Pearl, Peridot & Ruby Chandelier Earrings.  These extraordinary earrings are crafted from 14K yellow gold, tested and confirmed.  Featuring Napoleon III French styling, natural pearls, 2 natural oval cut faceted peridots, 2 natural round cut rubies, exquisite detailing and high quality workmanship.  These chandelier earrings are out of this world. They are beautiful articulated with segments of gold. The gold has a mellow rosy gold tone. The first segment is the surmount, which supports a beautiful green peridot and a ruby, surrounded by delicate seed pearls and dangles of seed pearls. They have shepherd hook ear wires for pierced ears. The next segment displays dangles of seed pearls completely around the entire canopy. The last segment depicts birds of paradise at a fountain, which are beautifully engraved, with layers of hand-wired dangling seed pearls. The  seed pearl dangles are displayed completely around all the canopies. Remarkably the earrings do not have one pearl missing. These wonderfully exotic earrings were cherished by the same French family ( passed down through the generations) since the day they were made. So it is my pleasure to offer this amazing earrings to someone who will appreciate and enjoy this extraordinary treasure.
