Featured What are these 14K Pieces w/Hooks?

These test 14K and I believe the stones are garnets. Each is about 1.5 inches tall. They look quite old and hand made to me. Not sure what they are for and how old they are. Any help appreciated.

 

Looks like they're taken from these iberian garnet pieces, from georgian era

 

What shammie said.
Great pieces, from a set that could be converted into longer evening earrings.

 

Thank you both very much. Do you think there would be buyers for these? Not asking for values, just whether these pieces would be desirable on their own.

 

Yes, they would be imo. I would hook them on gold creole earrings.

 

I would love to buy them lol but guess the shipping is too troublesome. People would also be interested in making them a conversion project. It's a bit hard to price them since they're just a component, so you might want to go to ebay auction, just remember to include all keywords, or ask dealers

 

Ok, thanks very much. There is enough gold so that they will be pricey, so probably a tough sell, but I will give it a try.

 

Be confident, as the complete set would go for thousands pounds, and your drops are fairly large

 

If you include 'ethnic jewelry' and 'European regional jewelry' in the listing, you'll get more views.

 

Nice find !!!

 

Just wondering for future use... would jewelry "findings" be a good descriptor/title for such things?

 

Amazing that you found both of them! Usually these would get separated over time. A set of earrings -be it not complete- is always better than just one of them. And I think they are very wearable too!

 

I think not.....these look like actual jewelry.....
not clips , hooks , buttons, wires, clasps , or jewelry supplies.... imo
