Red Velvet Box Appraisal

Vintage Cream Pearl and Diamond Halo Stud Earrings in Red Velvet Presentation Box

This lot features a pair of high-quality vintage stud earrings housed in a distinctive red leatherette or velvet-covered presentation box. Each earring centers a spherical cream-toned pearl, approximately 6-8mm in diameter, exhibiting a soft luster. The pearls are secured within a scalloped, floral-inspired yellow gold setting. Surrounding the central pearls is a halo motif consisting of smaller, round-cut accent stones, likely diamonds or high-grade white sapphires, set into white metal or rhodium-plated prongs to enhance brilliance. The design reflects a classic mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly 1950s or 1960s, characterized by the combination of mixed metals and textured gold petal-like borders. The interior of the box lid features gold-stamped lettering for 'Rebecca Shop' with a Hong Kong address and telephone number, suggesting an Asian origin for the retail or manufacturing process. The condition appears excellent with no visible tarnishing or missing stones, though the velvet insert shows minor compression from age. The craftsmanship displays fine detail in the ruffled gold edges, indicative of boutique jewelry production.
