Vintage Italian 9ct Yellow Gold Textured Open Knot Earrings
Stunning, vintage Italian 9ct yellow gold open knot earrings.
These are a beautiful variation on the classic knot earring. They have a lovely golden glow to them. They have 9ct posts and butterflies. The "knot" is an endless design, triple coiled in both polished and textured finishes. 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 noticeable dents. They are hollowly made, but are lovely and sturdy.
They are such a classic style to wear everyday to add that classic elegance to any outfit.
