Description

View Vintage Cloisonne Style Hummingbird Floral Enamel Earring Pendants REPAIR 8g with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Pre-owned and incomplete condition. The hummingbirds are finished in soft turquoise blue with pale gold-tone accents. However, both pieces are currently missing their ear wires, jump rings or other connecting hardware and are being sold for repair, restoration, repurposing or jewelry-making use. A charming matching pair of openwork enamel components featuring hummingbirds hovering among colorful flowers and foliage. Each piece has a graceful double-lobed silhouette outlined in deep black enamel, with delicately textured floral motifs in coral pink, cobalt blue and leafy green. The hummingbirds are finished in soft turquoise blue with pale gold-tone accents. The fine raised metal borders separate the individual colors in a manner associated with cloisonné-style enamelwork. Because the enamel technique and metal composition have not been professionally verified, these are best described conservatively as cloisonné-style rather than guaranteed traditional cloisonné. The components are mirror images of one another and each has a small attachment loop at the top, strongly suggesting that they were originally created as a pair of earrings. However, both pieces are currently missing their ear wires, jump rings or other connecting hardware and are being sold for repair, restoration, repurposing or jewelry-making use. Their lovely hummingbird-and-garden design would make especially attractive restored statement earrings, pendant drops, necklace components or decorative jewelry findings. * Matching pair of hummingbird and floral enamel components * Cloisonné-style raised metal and enamel construction * Openwork design * Black, coral pink, blue, green and turquoise coloring * Textured flowers, leaves and hummingbirds * Gold-tone metal borders * Mirrored left-and-right design * Small attachment loop on each piece * No maker’s mark or metal-content stamp found * Metal composition unknown * Missing ear wires and connecting hardware * Sold for repair, restoration or repurposing * Total pair weight: approximately 8 grams Condition Pre-owned and incomplete condition.
