Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris 18K Unusual Vintage Earrings.
18K textured yellow gold earrings by Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris. The front of these half style hoops have an applied rope in a vermicelli like motif giving them a wonderful patina which catches the light. These earrings are approximately .75 inches in length. Each earring is signed VCA, for Van Cleef & Arpels, with the Van Cleef mark in a diamond shape (located in two places on the earrings,) and the French head of the eagle for 18K (also located in two places on the earrings). They are also marked 750 for 18K and bear the Van Cleef numbers. To prevent reproductions, we have obscured the full Van Cleef number.
These earrings are in fine condition and are now for a non pierced ear and can be converted to accommodate a pierced lob. The earrings weigh 12.2 grams.
Please note our model is a medium to large size.

Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
