  • MotifsFloral inlay, Teardrop drop, Wire hooks, Open hoop

These original Victorian drop earrings take the form of open teardrop-shaped hoops fashioned from dark brown tortoiseshell. Each piece displays fine floral and foliate pique inlay executed in yellow gold and silver, complemented by a suspended central tortoiseshell drop similarly decorated with golden sprigs. Slender 9ct yellow gold wire hooks secure the earrings at the top via small turned connection loops. Minimal signs of wear appear across the surfaces, consistent with age and gentle handling. The dimensions measure a drop length of 48 mm and a width of 22.5 mm. Today, these statement earrings add a touch of antique Victorian and Gothic character when worn as personal jewellery for daily wear or evening occasions. The dark ground and metallic floral patterns contrast visually against clothing and hair. When removed, they sit safely in a jewellery box or tray on a dressing table. Their timeless antique form allows them to integrate into modern vintage-inspired wardrobes with ease.

FAQs

Pique work is a decorative technique originating in 17th-century France that reached peak popularity during the Victorian era, involving the embedding of precious metals like gold and silver into organic materials such as tortoiseshell.

Authentic Victorian pique jewellery typically combines organic substrates such as natural tortoiseshell with inlaid patterns composed of 9ct or 15ct yellow gold and sterling silver wire or points.

Genuine Victorian pique items feature hand-hammered metal inlays set flush into the dark material without visible adhesives, often accompanied by period ear wire fittings and floral or geometric patterns.

Antique pique earrings can be displayed inside a glass-topped velvet jewellery tray or mounted in a shadow box frame on a dressing table to highlight their historic craftsmanship.

Clean pique jewellery gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and store it away from direct heat, high humidity, chemicals, and prolonged sunlight to prevent deterioration of the natural material.
