Because I'm so happy I found these Micro Mosaic earrings I want to show them to you. The flowers are composed of very small tesserrae and lie in an Onyx plate. The edges are probably of gold and they have a quality mark. It seems to me the old Vatican gold gold mark but I can't see well even with a loupe. Together with my wonderful Micro Mosaic pigeons brooch they form a beautiful demi parure.
Does anyone have any idea or indeed here the old Vatican hallmark?

AR8Jason, Hi Kevin, thanks for loving these earrings and fine that you give me points on your MM frame, very nice I love it
Newtimes thanks for loving!
we gotta go shopping together -- nice job!!!! are you seeing double keys on that hallmark???? i can't tell by pics 3 & 4 -- if your seeing keys perhaps it could be the very old vatican gold hallmarks
epson233 thanks for all your nice compliments and you are welcome so we are going to shop together that would be nice. There are so many beautiful jewels I see, but sometimes I look around for a very rich oil sheick with a big bag of money of course to be able to buy so much fantastic jewels, but I realize I'm to old for that (!?) I'm aware of my own lucky possession of so nice things gathered in all the past years. And yes I believe you are right about the keys in the hallmark. It's not very clear but I also think to see a part of crossed keys! Please stay in touch!
yes -- where are those daddy warbucks den located -- of course we will stay in touch -- we both are ole crows and love collecting pretty things for our nest -- have a great day
These earrings are very special and very old. Probably with the old Vatican hallmark.
