    Hi all

    Picked up these earrings last week, i wonder if they could be Austro-Hungarian?

    I think they are gold wash on silver, but no hallmarks and i haven't tested them.

    Total length 5.5cm

    Those look like Russian stones. Not sure about the settings, but if I had them I'd be too busy wearing them to sell them.

    Pity they're missing bits from the bottom.

    Thank you all for your responses. I will continue researching. I'm sure that face will crop up somewhere.

    I think European costume, manufactured by someone with a sense of humour.:playful:
    They are not Austro-Hungarian in style, and the striped backs are usually seen later. Maybe made for theatre performances or fancy dress?

    You can add dangles to the bottom.
