A pair of antique earrings created from cufflinks (circa 1920) featuring finely detailed 14K gold dragons coiled around luminous moonstones. Dragon motifs have long been prized in jewelry for their associations with strength, protection, and good fortune, while the moonstones lend an ethereal glow that beautifully complements the sculptural goldwork. Our jeweler thoughtfully transformed the original cufflinks into a wearable pair of earrings through the addition of 14K gold ear wires and diamond surmounts, preserving the character of the antique elements while enhancing their elegance and versatility.
Each earring measures approximately 1.4 inches from the top of the ear wire to the bottom and 0.65 inches wide. Together, the earrings weigh 11.73 grams and remain in great condition with crisp detail throughout.
Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 14K gold construction.
