Antique Pair Large 14k Yellow Gold Carved Chinese Dragon Earrings
Regular price
$2,520.00
Presented is a pair of large gold earrings, with inset carvings of a Chinese
dragon's face. The carving has lovely cross-hatching and graining to it, very
attractive next to the smoothness of the gold, probably intended to be
reminiscent of dragon scales. There is some variation in the carvings between
the two earrings, due to the hand-worked nature of the piece. These are quite
sizable earrings, but the clip-on back holds them on securely, and they're
surprisingly comfortable as well.

These earrings weigh 41.3 grams in total. We estimate approximately half of
that weight is the gold setting, around 20-25 grams of gold.
