*Bell Epoque - French for Beautiful Era. This was a period in European social history tht began during the lat 19th century lasting until WW1. The Belle Epoque was named in retrospect when it was considered a golden age when compared to the horrors of WW1. A comparable epoch in the US was dubbed the Gilded Age.

Round cut diamonds set in platinum. The original pair of these earrings were purchased on the Place Vendome-the famous Paris jewellery street. They were actually "paste" but Elizabeth loved them. A few months later Mike Todd surprised Elizabeth by having the pair made up with real diamonds.
Estimate $25,000 - $35,000
