FAQs

Love knots became immensely popular during the Victorian period as romantic symbols representing eternal affection, unity, and unbreakable bonds, frequently exchanged as tokens of commitment.

Victorian earrings were typically crafted from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold, often utilising hollow construction techniques to achieve substantial, voluminous designs without excessive weight.

Authentic pieces often feature period-specific hallmarks, hand-assembled wire hooks, and traditional manufacturing anomalies such as subtle seam lines from historical hollow-forming processes.

These statement drop earrings pair well with minimalist modern attire, allowing the intricate historical metalwork and warm metallic tones to serve as the focal point of the outfit.

Hollow gold items require delicate handling to prevent crushing or denting; they should be cleaned gently with a soft microfibre cloth and stored separately away from harder items.
