Antique Victorian 12ct Gold And Silver Diamond Earrings Circa 1870-1890
Gone are the days when we danced the night away by candle light when these beautiful Victorian earrings were hand crafted, by a jeweller, also working with only candle light to create precious jewellery almost 200 years ago … one can only imagine!
These enchanting earrings were created in the Victorian era circa 1870-90 from traditional to the day silver and topped with lever backed fitting in approximately 12ct yellow gold.
Designed as flower head styled articulated drops with buttercup settings, diamond are set in cut down settings with closed and foil backed mounts.
The diamonds are mellow grey, warm with hints of colour and utterly romantic as intended.
Dancing beautifully as they were created to do given the articulation between the first and second diamonds, these antique treasures are a must for the Victorian jewellery connoisseurs jewellery wardrobe.
