I found this pair of silver, paste and 18 carat gold earrings in dispair for sale, and I had to have them.</p><p>In the first picture you can see how they arrived: 2 stones missing, only one middle part. (And yes, the silver and diamond brooch was also an amazing find this week and the gold and pearl cone is cute).</p><p>But back to the earrings: I replaced the two missing stones and I just left the one middle part out. Some stones are more yellow than others but I just left those be. For now, the earrings are ok to wear.</p><p>I noticed they have the french Boars head mark (so they are French, 1838-now) but in my opinion they are early part of 19th century (1938-1850ish).</p><p>In the other pictures you can see them next to a pair of silver and paste Georgian Earrings (those are heavy! And look at those pastes shine! Upper part is a replacement) and to the right a pair of Old Flemish earrings (rose cut diamonds, silver and vermeil back...ca 1840-1880 ish, I showed these here plenty of times).</p><p>I do feel the &#039;new&#039; earrings have much in common with the Old Flemish earrings. Their back and the way they were constructed have a lot of similarities.</p><p>So, can anyone decipher the other marks? Do you agree with my time-frame? And, would you look for the perfect middle part or just leave them be?</p><p>Thank you for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
