Lovely earrings by renowned Volmer Bahner of Denmark. Earrings feature yellow gold over sterling silver and a cream colored guilloche enamel face. They in excellent condition, with no damage of any kind to enamel. The enamel is extremely glossy so there are lots of reflective spots in photos. Very minor fading to the gold on back, comparable to age. Included with purchase is a new set of gold French hooks, so they screw back attachments can be switched out to accommodate pierced ears.
