Antique Peking Glass Earrings
sku#40219
Description:
Dark green Mandarin Peking glass drops with remnants of Kingfisher feather decoration. White Freshwater Pearls. 14K gold vermeil French earwires. 1 3/4" long. These beautiful glass drops were purchased at an antique market in northern China. The Peking glass drops were originally used on court garments of earlier dynasties. During the cultural revolution they were deemed socially "degenerate" and the garments were cut to pieces and the glass decorations torn away. As a result they are quite rare, and make not only a beautiful piece of jewelry but one with an interesting history. Made in U.S.
