Antique Dangly Diamond Flower pendant, 18K

Most likely originally a lonely earring, that someone converetd to a pendant. Perhaps it danced at a Georgian ball, caught the candlelight one last time, and was lost somewhere between the minuet and the midnight supper. We can only imagine the beautiful gown it once adorned, and the woman who chose the diamond flower earrings to accompany her for an evening of dancing.

Set in 18K yellow gold, its two substantial rose-cut diamonds have a lovely, softly domed sparkle. The tiny hallmark is too faded to read, presumably French.
