Pair of large, low-grade gold earrings. 10.8 grams total, each about 2" x 1-1/8". As 19th-century "costume jewelry" these earrings were made of low-grade gold in fairly simple design, with raised oval panel inside crescent shape, spot of red enamel near bottom of oval, with small, round, separate panel at top attached to shepherd's crook (for pierced ears), all intact but obviously salvaged. Recovered from: General Abbatucci, sunk in 1869 off Corsica. With original Christie's (London) lot-certificate #77 from 1997.
