Evocative of Etruscan designs, these sweet and petite “dormeuse” lever back style earrings are fashioned from solid 10 karat yellow gold, with a gold-filled cannetille style face. To put on the earrings, the wires are put through the back of the earlobe and then secured at the front. The name dormeuse (French for “sleeper”) describes earrings comfortable enough to be worn to sleep.
