8k-10k Warrior Goddess Painted Enamel OMEGABACK Earrings w Rubies_21_189

For sale is a pair of 8k yellow gold omegaback earrings with painted enamel women warrior goddesses and rubies.  These breath-taking earrings were made in Germany during the Art Deco era. Each woman is depicted in profile, a position of power and strength.  The enamel colors are vibrant, with harmonizing shades of golden yellow, sky blue, and sage green.  The portraits are similar, but because they are hand-painted there are small differences between them.  Each portrait is framed in a twisted rope halo that is studded with gold stars and and squares that are textured with a cross-hatched design.  Each earring features a lovely hot pink ruby that is bezel set at the top of each halo.  The earrings fasten with omegabacks that fasten securely.

***I have described these earrings as 8k-10k because they are actually 8k (which is the standard gold content in Germany, like 14k in the US, or 9k in England).  However they test positive for 10k, and I do not have the ability to test for 8k.

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
