    There must be something wrong with me because I keep on buying (parts of) single earrings!
    Because that is what I think these are.
    The huge golden one is in my opinion part of a set earrings. You can clearly see the silver Croix Bosse (1793-1798) from Normandy that I already showed here is its family.
    On the gold earring I think I can decipher the rams head mark (1819-1838) and the other mark must be a makers mark.
    The second, smaller pendant that I bought is gold/silver and rose cut diamonds (oops, havent tested its metal content yet...just saw/tested the nice diamonds and I was happy). it also came from France.
    It was sold as being Georgian but I have big doubts about that.
    In my opinion it might date closer to the 1900s.
    It has no marks so I just follow my gut feeling on that date.
    Anyways, it was a good bargain so I bought it. (It needs a tiny repair on the bail).
    In the last picture you can see part of my single earrings collection.
    The green bow is a piece I already showed and the other one is part of a Flemish earring.
    So, what do you think about my newest additions?
    Thank you and have a Sunny day!

    That round one looks Georgian to my eye.

    So be eclectic. Who says both ears have to match.

    Dessert - there's nothing wrong with you! Ahem!

    Though not so elegant as yours, I too, have a collection of single earrings, lockets, and other miscellaneous dingle-dangles. At Christmastime they adorn my 24-inch faux tree, along with a string of tiny white lights. :) :)

    That’s all I have to say about this.

    Not jealous at all.

    Not one bit.

    At all.

    OBB thank you, I m not used to backs like that.
    Its closed but still much more open than I m used to with Flemish jewelry (flat backs mostly). And also the gold around the diamonds put me off...I m used to silver around diamonds for that era.
    But you could be right for sure!

    Unfortunately, for now it must sit in the box of shame/box to be repaired :rolleyes:

    Moreorherstuff, what a good idea! I never thought about wearing them as actual earrings.
    Mismatched earrings are a thing now :D

    I see 18th century, and I love it, beautiful diamonds, especially the rose.
    The only thing that's wrong with you is that you're a joolie. A proper joolie sees potential in every beautiful jool.:smug::happy:
    Mismatched earrings are a thing whenever you want it to be.:playful:
    I used to as well. And three on each side, all pierced. I was a Christmas tree when I was younger.:joyful:

    Any Jewelry, thanks for your reply.
    Oh my, my 18th century collection is growing :D
    A walking Christmas tree!
    I wear earrings day and night. Only three though, not ears full of them.
    But I m making up for it by wearing arms full of bakelite bangles when the weather and my mood are good.

    And a lot of it was turquoise, so one of my friends called me the turquoise queen.:hilarious:
    If you like hot weather bring out the bakelite bangles, it's tropical right now.:playful: I'm staying inside, much too hot for me. But I'm wearing gold creole torque earrings.:happy:

    I just came home from the kringwinkel (thriftstore) with a very unusual find (out of my comfort zone) so I might do another post in a minute.
