Description

A rare pair of Victorian earrings carved in a material believed to be a deep salmon-coloured coral. Beautifully designed with realistic acorns and leaves which have a lovely level of detail. The ear wires test as sterling silver. The earrings come with the matching brooch pictured.

• Condition: The earrings are in amazing condition considering their age, these finely detailed items rarely survive in one piece; when seen from the back each earring is missing a piece which would have hung down behind. The brooch has quite a lot of damage to the leaves, see photos, although can still be worn as a lovely piece.

• Fixing: Ear wires. Supplied with tiny plastic "keepers" for additional security. The brooch has a simple C clasp.

• Era: Victorian, 19th century.

• Size: The earrings measure approx 3cm total drop from the top of the ear wires x 1.5cm wide. The brooch is 3 x 4.1cm diameter.

• Weight: 5.9g.

FAQs

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is typically divided into three distinct periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic. It often features symbolic motifs, such as acorns, flowers, and serpents, reflecting the sentimental and botanical interests of the era.

Artisans predominantly used natural Mediterranean red and pink coral, meticulously hand-carved into intricate botanical and figurative forms. Mountings and findings were typically crafted from low-carat to high-carat gold or gilded metals depending on the pieces provenance.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural growth striations and minute surface imperfections visible under magnification, distinguishing them from modern plastics, glass, or reconstituted coral. Hand-carved details also show tool marks and slight irregularities unique to artisanal craftsmanship.

Antique jewellery can be displayed within glass cloches, shadow boxes, or vintage presentation trays as decorative objects on dressing tables. When worn, pairing period pieces with minimalist modern attire highlights their intricate craftsmanship without visual competition.

Coral is a delicate organic material that is sensitive to acids, cosmetics, perfumes, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and store individually in padded boxes away from harder gemstones to prevent scratching.
