A beautiful pair of pietra dura screwback earrings, featuring delicate floral designs created from individually cut and inlaid pieces of colorful stone against a deep black background. Each oval centerpiece is surrounded by an ornate openwork 800 silver setting with scrolling details.
Pietra dura, Italian for “hard stone,” is a traditional decorative technique in which precisely cut pieces of colored stone are fitted together to create intricate pictorial designs, particularly flowers, birds, and botanical motifs.
The earrings feature screwback closures and are marked 800 for 800 silver.
Measurements: Approximately 1.25” tall × ¾” wide.
Condition: Please note that one earring is missing the center stone from the flower, as shown in the photos. Age-appropriate patina and wear are also present. Please review all photos carefully for condition and details.
