These sterling earrings are well proportioned and finely engraved. The birds have a gold wash with just a hint of color. The three interlocking circles are like frames around a painting, also typical of this period of design and are more commonly found on lockets and bangles. They measure 1 1/4 inches long from the top of the wire. The round drop measures 9/10 inches. They are beautiful,completely original, and in excellent condition. England, circa 1870
