Mid-Century Carved Tourmaline Flower Earrings
Cute and charming vintage earrings dating from the mid 20th century, circa 1950. Likely Italian, they each feature four carved tourmaline gemstones: a pink flower with green and yellow leaves. They're beautifully executed, both in design and craftsmanship, built in 18ct yellow gold with clip backs and owl import marks indicating they were retailed in France. Although they share the same form, each one is slightly different on account of the leaf shapes - further adding to the charm. Reminiscent of the famous 20th century Tutti Frutti gems.

A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm!
