A wonderfully unusual pair of vintage 9ct gold stud earrings modelled as greyhound or whippet heads, each finished with a tiny dark sapphire eye.
The sculpted heads are beautifully detailed, with those unmistakable long, elegant noses and alert profiles. At 13mm, they have plenty of presence on the ear without being oversized - and make a particularly good find for anyone with a soft spot for sighthounds.
Full London hallmarks are present on the posts, and the earrings are finished with butterfly backs.
