Description: ITEM DESCRIPTION: Up for sale is a lovely vintage pair of earrings made in Oaxaca Mexico in the first half of the 20th century. These are known at the “El Jardin” style and each earring is a large 2 1/2” long x 7/8” wide. They are handcrafted from 14k yellow gold filigree and have small fresh water pearl accents. This style earring typically had a wire that came through the reverse earlobe which is a bit difficult to put on. The previous owner had those posts slightly altered to a more conventional French wire. The base of the original back is still attached on the reverse but bent forward. These are very comfortable to wear and much easier to put on. They are in good condition and have normal wear consistent with their age. These have been acid tested for 14k gold but might xray for a slightly lower 12k to 14k content. they weigh 13.5 grams total. ***Please note that my camera is cobalt blue and often makes polished surfaces look dark due to the reflection on the metal surface.*** SHIPPING:First class shipping, insurance, and handling in the US is $20. I am happy to ship multiple auction wins in the same package at the actual cost plus insurance. International shipping is through ebay’s global shipping program. I try my best to wrap all items securely, and to ship in a timely fashion. Once the item is wrapped, a shipping label is created, and the tracking number is provided on ebay. I personally have my packages scanned by the post office before they obtain possession. Please refrain from asking for tracking information or for photos of the wrapping process as all of these requests delay the progress in shipping your item and others. Please note that first class shipping often takes longer than priority shipping. If you require an upgrade to priority, please let me know before paying. I’m happy to upgrade shipping at the actual cost to the buyer. TAX: Current tax laws have changed and ebay automatically charges tax on purchases in most US states. Please check your state laws and ebay to know if tax is charged on your purchase. Tax concerns are strictly between the buyer and ebay as I do not collect or receive funds for taxes collected. All items ship from Dallas, TX. PAYMENT:All payments should be received within 3 days of auction close. An unpaid item dispute automatically starts after 3 business days. If you are bidding on auctions that end on differerent days, I do request payment for the items that have sold. I will gladly set those items aside and combine shipment. BUY IT NOW/MAKE OFFER OPTIONS:I always consider FAIR offers on any item that has a “make offer” option. This does not mean that I accept offers on items that are in a current auction! _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
