Pair of fancy earrings in 14 cts. pink gold, platinum, old brilliant, single cut diamonds and enamel. Piece designed as a couple of children suspended inside a ring of onyx hold by a bar of diamonds. Platinum hand engraved and diamonds in a millegrain setting. Painted enamel and translucent enamel de basse-taille on a gold paillon.
Signs of wear as commensurate to age. Some loss on the enamel, but not disturbing the general allure.
Very attractive pair of earrings that might be approached to the work of Raymond C. Yard, who mixed small coloured figurine with straight black and white art-déco lines. The amusing fancy and colourful subject is considered as a typical characteristic of the American jewellery.
Probably the small children are two circus character and are probably inspired by any series or spectacle of that time.
