Vintage 835 Delft blue& white windmill filigree clip earrings

Click to enlarge each image. Zoom images below.

This is a pair of Delft clip earrings with a filigree setting that frames a blue and white cabochon. A traditional Dutch windmill scene is depicted. Stamped "835" on the back of each earring with some other hallmark lettering so truly tiny that I cannot read it--even with a 30x loupe. 835 is European silver: 83.5% silver content (therefore less than sterling). The cabochon diameter is .5". Outer filigree diameter is .75". The clip arms are base metal, not 835 silver content, and are a more coppery color. Very dainty and delicate, with fine patina.
