Victorian Etruscan Revival Earrings in 9ct Gold

Lovely shining Victorian earrings in an unusual padlock style with gold bead decoration.

• Condition: Good antique condition with a few minor surface dents, see photos.

• Fixing: Nine-carat gold wires; supplied with tiny silicone "keepers" to pop on the end for security.

• Hallmarks/stamps: Each earring is stamped 9CT on the back and also has the kitemark used by the British Design Registry which enables us to date the earrings quite precisely. The stamp shows this design was registered on 1 January 1875 and as the mark was discontinued less than a decade later we know they must have been made between 1875 and 1884.

• Era: Victorian.

• Size: 2.5cm from the top of the gold sphere to the bottom of each earring. One ear wire hangs slightly longer.

• Weight: 1.5g.

Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing and do ask if you have any questions!
