Victorian 9ct Gold Square Cross Wheel Earrings

19th century
Description

Pretty Victorian wheel-shaped earrings in nine-carat gold, each with a puffy Maltese cross dangling at the centre.

• Condition: In very good antique condition; one of the crosses has a tiny dent on the back near the top but it's almost imperceptible.

• Fixing: Nine-carat gold ear wires, supplied with tiny silicone "keepers" for additional security.

• Stamps/hallmarks: Both earrings have a British Design Registry kitemark (discontinued in 1883) at the centre but it's worn with age so impossible to decipher.

• Era: Victorian (pre-1883).

• Size: Approx 3.5cm drop from the top of the ear wire. The "wheel" section is 2.3cm diameter.

• Weight: 3.0g; the earrings are hollow and so lovely and light to wear.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Victorian gold wheel earrings typically feature circular or geometric central motifs inspired by classical archaeology, popular during the mid-to-late 19th century Etruscan and Archaeological Revival movements.

Victorian earrings were predominantly crafted from 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct yellow gold, often utilising hollow-form construction, wirework, or granulation techniques to produce geometric designs.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature period hallmarks or makers marks, original ear wire fastenings, evidence of hand-finishing, and specific construction details such as hollow stamping or delicate applied beadwork.

These statement gold drop earrings pair effectively with modern minimalist tailoring, crisp white shirts, or formal evening wear to add historical character to contemporary attire.

Clean gold earrings gently using a soft lint-free cloth and mild warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive polishing compounds that could damage delicate historical wirework.
