❤️ Vintage 1979 Birmingham 9ct Gold Ruby Cluster Stud Earrings
A charming pair of authentic 1979 British vintage earrings, beautifully crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold and featuring vibrant natural rubies arranged in a delicate snowflake-inspired floral cluster.
Each earring showcases five round-cut rubies, carefully arranged to form a petite flower or snowflake silhouette. The rich ruby-red gemstones contrast beautifully against the warm yellow gold, creating a timeless design that remains elegant and wonderfully wearable more than four decades later.
A particularly lovely feature of this pair is that both earring posts are individually British hallmarked, carrying the Crown, 375 gold fineness mark, Birmingham Anchor assay mark, and date letter E for 1979.
