A pair of silver and diamond paste dormeuse earrings, with charmingly chubby and absolutely iconic cut-own collet settings; holding in their tidy centers two chunky, well faceted round solitaire glass stones in place.

Delicate and open galleries frill the sides, with trademark front closures, this style of earring is antique jewelry’s answer to the modern huggy hoop—supremely easy and comfortable to wear, ultra versatile as they go with every ensemble; and finally, just super effortlessly chic.

Earring’s that wear like second skin; in fact the term “dormeuse” means sleeper in French—as in ear ornaments so perfect and unobtrusive, they could be worn effortlessly, readily, even while one sleeps.

Excellent antique condition with the well-formed and well-faceted stones clear, unfogged and twinkling white. Untouched and all original.
