Dangling Silver Ball, Three-Dimensional Flower Filigree Sterling Silver Screw-Back Earrings / Early Jewelry / American Antique

These are handcrafted sterling silver earrings from Italy, featuring a classic woven silver filigree design with beautiful openwork. Filigree is an ancient metalworking technique, meticulously crafted by hand into three-dimensional forms, showcasing delicate and time-consuming workmanship. While Portuguese filigree is renowned, we find Italian and German filigree pieces equally exquisite. These earrings possess a wonderful quality but are pre-owned, so please do not compare them to new items or expect perfection. 🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1940s-1960s ⚜️ Unmarked ⚜️ Approximately 6.46g ⚜️ Length approx. 1.8-4cm, widest point approx. 2.9cm ⚜️ The original gold plating on the front has faded over time due to use, and some filigree crevices appear darkened.
