These Victorian gold turquoise dangling teardrop flower earrings consist of a pair of drop earrings with floral tops and lattice-engraved teardrop pendants set with turquoise cabochon stones. The gold has a richly coloured finish throughout, with the drops showing a slightly rosy colour and the floral sections displaying the distinctive rich yellow of high carat gold, presented inside a green jewellery box lined with dark blue velvet and featuring a paper label inside the lid. The fixings comprise gold wires supplied with tiny silicone keepers. Measuring 3 cm from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the teardrop, with drops measuring 2 by 1 cm, these earrings are worn as personal adornment in everyday settings today.

FAQs

Victorian turquoise jewellery frequently features cabochon turquoise stones set within yellow gold, popularised during the 19th century when turquoise was widely used in romantic and symbolic designs.

Victorian drop earrings commonly utilised yellow gold, pinchbeck, or gold fill alongside natural gemstones, pearls, and detailed hand-engraved lattice or filigree work.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-crafted settings, era-appropriate ear fittings, fine textured metalwork, and subtle natural colour variations across the turquoise cabochons due to age.

Victorian turquoise drop earrings function as an elegant statement piece, pairing effectively with neutral tailoring or formal wear to highlight the contrast between yellow gold and bright turquoise tones.

Clean antique turquoise jewellery gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or ultrasonic devices, as natural turquoise is a porous stone susceptible to discolouration.
