Collector said, 'Thank you Mimi for finding me another 'baby'...'
Both Parenti and Peruzzi have used this Baby Motif and the bow is so Parenti, however because it is marked 800 yet unsigned, it is most likely Peruzzi from Italy (leaving Boston Peruzzi, Cini and Parenti out, who worked in the American stardard of Sterling) with a nice heavy Gold wash. 3 piece Screw back Dangle Earrings are 2.25" long and .75" wide and very, very nice condition at good weight of .4 oz or 14 Grams on postal scale.
