Two gold fish earrings

Subscription - • Save

Delicate 18kt yellow and pink gold Poissardes sleeper earrings (horse head hallmark), decorated with a finely chiseled floral motif.

Break-away system, loops pass through the back.

French work from the second half of the 19th century.

Gross weight: 1.77 g
Height: 2.80 cm
Width: 0.80 cm

Condition: slight micro scratches on the gold parts, missing material on the sides, see pictures.

 

According to some sources, the name "poissardes" originated from the fish sellers who wore this kind of earrings in the 19th century.

Our model is composed of a mixture of yellow and pink gold, the latter being reputedly more flexible - it is said in jewelry that it has a "good memory" because it returns more easily to its initial shape after manipulation thanks to the copper which composes it - and thus lending itself more to the manipulation of the earrings.
