[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 382436, member: 2844"]These silver gilt Algerian knot or lover's knot earrings have lost their little dangles. I would like to replace them, so my question is, what shape were the original dangles? I am thinking of urn shape (upside down teardrop), but they could have been balls, teardrops, maybe something else? Ball dangles are easiest to get, I can just use small vermeil ball pins. There will be a slight difference in colour, but I don't know if anyone would notice. I also have tiny rice pearls, but since there are no pearls on the pendants I don't know if I should even consider that. The earrings are not Algerian, by the way, it is just the name of the knot. These are from Austria, but the style is general European of the period. [ATTACH=full]132209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132215[/ATTACH] The length of the earrings is 4.1cm/1.6" Thank you for looking.[/QUOTE]
