A pair of Victorian-era Pietra Dura inlay drop earrings, modeled in 14k yellow gold, whose hardstone mosaics represent a pair of peonies, with heavy heads and bending leaves.  These intricate floral mosaics are set in bezels, where they are bordered with delicate trefoil wirework and granulation. Hinged earwires thread back-to-front and catch in a small loop at the top of each round earring. These are medium-sized, with a perfect below-the-lobe drop, and their neutral color palate makes them especially easy to style. We love this palate, and the tiny scalloped edge the twisted wires create! These earrings are finished with a high color bloom.
