Definetely very old, a stunner!!
Look at those baroque pearls, they are wonderful, what a patina they have acquired through time!! and spot the discreet hallmarks on the earring to the right
Be careful that the cut stones could be rhinestones even better if rose cut diamonds!!
What size ? Karat ? 14 Kt or 9 Kt?
I have seen this hallmark on many very old tunisian pieces, i am pretty sure it is At least a late 19th century either before the french "tete de negre" but i fnd this first option very unlikely or much more likely a smiths hallmark related to the city of Mahdia were you found this....which makes sense as these were still worn in this city while they have fallen in oblivion and out of fashion in Tunis
How much does it go for ?
Nice earings, worn specialy from the bride in the wedding,together with a special necklace and diadem
The pearls were imported from oman
