For sale are these rare day and night Napoleon III earrings. These 18 karat rose gold dormeuse earrings (also called sleepers) have a front closure and are decorated with textured bows, two dots and are finished with a lot of detail. The fine details are well made and preserved considering their age. The teardrop shaped pendants are hollow, but in great condition. One of the dormeuses has had a repair by its previous owner which left the front a bit darker and dented.
You can either wear them as small dormeuse earrings or gala party earrings with the dangling parts attached. These small round shaped beauties are not marked but were tested for 18 karat gold. The dangling 'night'-parts are hallmarked with French eagle head hallmarks.
We love these European beauties, which date back to the Victorian era, because they represent everything that was common during this period. We adore its grandeur, the elegant shapes and floral forms that are very well created and preserved. These earrings are in very good condition and a pleasure to wear.
