Gilded wire frame expressing a stylized floral design is set with extraordinary and rare "comet aurum" and "comet argent" stones, as well as French jet black glass stones. These "comet" stones are mirrored crystals that flash silver (argent) and gold (aurum), and are rarely seen. The combination is festive and celebratory, perfect for the holidays. The metal is plated in a bright yellow gold. The condition throughout is perfect -- indeed, I doubt that these ever left the box, they appear unworn and flawless. Even the satin-lined box is in amazingly lovely condition, marked "The Wm H. Block Co. Indianapolis", with an elegant design on the exterior. This would make a stunning gift! Marked "Made in Austria". Brooch, 3.75"L x 2.25"W; earrings, 1.2"L x 0.65"W. less
