1850s French romantic period carnelian front hook earrings

This is a pair of front-hook earrings from France in the 1850s. They are made entirely of 18k gold and set with carnelian Gemstone. The outline of the work is simple and restrained, influenced by the Romanticism's advocating nature style, with flowing shell patterns on the top and bottom, soft arc structures on both sides, and a flat carnelian inlaid in the center. The English name carnelian can be traced back to a plant called European Dogwood (scientific name: Cornus mas). This plant has bright, full and rich bright red fruits that are similar in color to carnelian. The rich but transparent warm red tone and gold frame form an elegant and balanced combination. The ear pins are molded, and are hollow inside so they are very lightweight. The front hook design increases safety when worn and prevents them from falling off easily. The work is in good condition, with normal signs of oxidation and wear. One of the earrings has an obvious dent on the outline of one side. It is a century-old antique and is not in new condition.
