Antique Victorian Etruscan Revival 18ct (And 9ct) Gold And Pearl Earrings Circa 1870
Delightful pair of Victorian earrings dating to around the 1870’s or thereabouts.
Crafted from 18ct gold to the main ovoid or Navette shaped section and 9ct gold to the fancy shepherds hook ear wires. The wires are original, they would have been crafted in 9ct for strength and durability.
The Navette shaped drops are three dimensional, hollow, with Etruscan style wire work surrounding a plain raised section to which a single creamy white half Pearl is ‘Star’ set to the centre. A rope work also surrounds the entire circumference of the main section.
Measuring a lovely noticeable 3.5cm drop from the ear and articulated between the hooks and body these stunning Victorian earrings will not disappoint!
