C. 1870-1890s Antique Rare Victorian French Paste Gemstone Earrings.

Own a piece of history. French paste gemstones were made primarily between the 18th and 19th centuries, with their production eventually ceasing in the 1910s. These extremely rare, lovely, delicate earrings were obviously meticulously crafted and stored in someone's jewelry box for nearly 150 years. There is no maker's mark, and one set of paste "diamonds" are slightly cloudy on one earring. Pictures just don't do them justice
