Antique Victorian 20ct Gold Repoussé Drop Earrings Circa 1870
Crafted from 20ct gold which has been *bloomed* to give an even more lush, bright and matt finish to the finely textured foliate design.
From the shepherds hook we find a delicate clover shaped single motif to the main articulated body of the earring topped with a small red gem (probably paste, typical of the era), to the main shield shaped foliate section, and below a delicate articulated inverted torpedo drop.
The entire craftsmanship of these earrings is in ‘repoussé’.. a sheet of 20ct gold has been pressed and moulded from the reverse to create a design in low relief.
Light in the ear and therefore extremely comfortable to wear, articulated perfectly to swish and sway enticingly in the ear, these divine mid- Victorian earrings are a collectors dream.
