1860s French yellow gold single front hook day and night earring

This earring from France in the 1860s is made of 18k gold and is only available in one piece. The earring structure is Day and Night earrings. This type of design became popular in the 18th century. The characteristic of the earring structure is that it is divided into two parts, the lower pendant part can be removed. This design allows the smaller upper part to be used alone during the day, and the lower pendant part can be worn at night when participating in activities such as dances, which can increase the visual weight and gorgeousness. The two styles can be matched as you like, which is quite practical and changeable. The upper part of the work is in the shape of a semicircle of a drum, while the drooping part below is in the shape of a full, three-dimensional teardrop. The whole piece is decorated with geometric patterns and floral-themed carvings, which is very delicate, elegant and cute. The ear needle is designed with a front hook. When worn, it must be inserted from the back of the ear hole and hooked forward. After being worn correctly, it will hardly fall off. It is very safe and will not pierce the skin behind the earlobe. The piece is stamped with French precious metals and the maker's print. It is in good antique condition overall, showing normal signs of oxidation and wear, but it is a single piece, not a pair. It is a century-old antique piece and is not in brand new condition.
