Antique Russian earrings with 11 carats of big untreated aquamarines

Two of the nicest aquamarines we have had in a very long time and untreated (very rare!), set in 14K yellow gold earrings. Made in Moscow between 1908 and 1912; before the Russian Revolution (1917). The are made in the workshop of Pawla Alexandowna Mischukowa who worked in Moscow between 1900 and 1912. She had some 12 till 18 goldsmiths working for her.

The reason why we say they are made between 1908 and 1912 is that the Russian hallmark struck in the earrings, was used from 1908; and the Mischukowa workshop only worked till 1912.
