Dormeuse earrings, also known as "sleeper" earrings, were popular from the 18th century through the early 20th century. The style was particularly known as "dormeuse" (French for "sleeper") during the 1860s because they were small and comfortable enough to sleep in. A real antique piece brings with it the rich history and charm of another time when beauty and romance was celebrated in almost every piece of jewelry. They are timeless treasures from decades ago and very rare to come by. In wonderful condition ready to be worn or gifted. Please ask questions.
