Description

We are delighted to offer this spectacular pair of antique Victorian 18ct gold earrings, made c.1880.

This unique and beautiful pair is made in the Etruscan revival style, capturing the essence of the period's mystical nature and enchanting designs.

Featuring a wonderful three-tier design, each section moves freely and truly comes to life upon wearing.

The central half-sphere (cabochon-like) section is embellished with fine engravings of scrolled motifs and is a lovely touch that creates a different appearance to the rest of the glossy/shiny surface.

The 'drops' below have a wonderful and elegant point that juxtaposes the roundness above and creates a striking yet elegant contrast. The intricate craftsmanship and skill in making such a delicate yet ornate design are wonderful in this piece.

Such aesthetic design in combination with the fine engravings is a testament to the stylish craftsmanship of the Victorian era.A remarkable piece of fine Victorian jewellery whether it be a special gift or for a personal addition.

This pair would most certainly make for a unique addition for the distinguished antique jewellery lover and an instant conversation starter upon wearing. Perfect as a standalone accessory to accentuate your outfit or among other Victorian jewellery.

The pair is unmarked (other than the maker's mark "JB") as is common with articles of this period and as such we have tested it fully with results indicating 18ct solid gold.

All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary modern hard shell gift box with a velvet interior. Please note, any other antique boxes/display items are not included unless otherwise stated.

Size & Total Weight

4cm x 1.3cm (from end to end inc top of hook).

6.15g /0.198 troy oz the pair.

Condition: Great antique condition with no major issues/damage. Some very minor surface scratches/wear to the reverse side, however nothing significant nor visible from the front and all commensurate with age.

The Etruscan Revival style gained immense popularity during the mid-to-late 19th century, heavily influenced by archaeological excavations in Italy that unearthed ancient Etruscan artefacts. Designers sought to replicate the intricate goldwork, granulation, and classical motifs found in these ancient pieces.

These pieces are typically crafted from high-karat gold, such as 18ct, utilising historical techniques like granulation, filigree, and wirework to create complex surface textures without the use of modern machinery.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-applied decorative wirework, characteristic clasp types from the era, appropriate metal purity hallmarks or acid-test results for 18ct gold, and natural signs of age-related wear on the gold surface.

Antique drop earrings add a touch of historic sophistication to contemporary attire, pairing well with understated evening wear or serving as a statement focal point against minimalist outfits.

Store antique earrings individually in a soft-lined jewellery box to prevent scratching, avoid exposure to harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic machines, and clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
