Vintage Italian Large 9ct Yellow Gold Knot Earrings
Absolutely gorgeous, vintage Italian 9ct yellow gold knot earrings.
These earrings are beautiful classics. They have a beautiful golden glow to them, and are in very good vintage condition. They have 9ct posts and butterflies. The "knot" is made up of one polished piece and one textured piece. There is something really special about the contrast between the two textures.
They have hallmarks for UNOAERRE, an Italian jeweller that was founded by Leopoldo Gari and Carlo Zucchi in 1925 and has been in production since. They were the first registered jewelers of Arezzo Italy, which is shown in their hallmark of "1 AR". They found great success in the 1970's to the 1990's. I always love it when I see their hallmarks as their work is such great quality and style. These also have hallmarks for the importer to the UK.
They are in very good vintage condition, with no dents. They are hollow, but are lovely and strong. These are definitely a bit more of a statement earring, but are such a classic style to wear everyday to add that classic elegance to any outfit. True investment pieces. the hallmarks on the posts and the butterflies indicate that they were imported from Italy to the UK for sale there. That is where I sourced them from.
