I'm interested to know if anyone has an idea of what period these "coach" earrings might be from. The "balls" latch over the pearls (which probably replaced a more precious stone which was in the earrings at one time. The earrings were purchased in the 40's from an antique dealer in the LA area.
So scarce find! They are Victorian Era, and were to be worn during travel or on way to Opéra or parties.
