Late Victorian Gold and Pearl Flower Earrings

19th century
Description

Fantastic antique gold earrings with tiny seed pearls set among textured flowers and leaves. The gold has a richly coloured slightly velvety finish which indicates it may have been "bloomed" - a popular process in the late 19th century where pieces were dipped into an acid mixture to burn away alloy metals on the surface, leaving a thin layer of pure high-carat gold behind and giving that lovely satiny sheen.

• Condition: The earrings are in excellent antique condition.

• Fixing: Secured wires.

• Era: Estimated late Victorian/Edwardian (c.late 1890-1910).

• Size: 5.8 x 1.7cm.

• Weight: 5.1g.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
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 floral jewellery featured nature-inspired motifs, often crafted from gold and accented with pearls or gemstones, symbolising sentiments such as affection and purity.

These pieces typically utilised yellow gold ranging from 9ct to 18ct, set with natural split pearls or seed pearls, often featuring hand-engraved or repousse metalwork.

Authentic pieces frequently display period-appropriate hallmarks, specific ear wire fasteners such as leverbacks or shepherd hooks, and signs of hand-crafted construction techniques.

Antique gold drop earrings offer a refined accent to contemporary eveningwear or tailored daywear, complementing neutral tones and classic silhouettes.

Store pieces in a padded compartment away from humidity. Wipe gold surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth, ensuring pearls remain free from perfumes and chemical cleaners.
