Description

Richly coloured Victorian earrings in gilded metal and beautiful turquoise blue enamel topped with tiny gleaming split pearls.

Around 1880 many gold treasures dating back to the ancient Etruscan era (700-300 BC) were being discovered in Italian tombs, leading to the emergence of the Etruscan Revival as Victorian jewellers sought to recreate the style. Craftsmen employed considerable skill to make finely detailed pieces using multiple gold working techniques such as granulation, cannetille and filigree.

• Condition: Excellent antique condition.

• Fixing: Original ear wires, supplied with tiny silicon "keepers" to pop on the ends for additional security.

• Stamps/hallmarks: None.

• Era: Victorian, c.1860s.

• Size: 3.7cm from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the pendant. The oval sections measure 2.2 x 1.8cm.

• Weight: 10.1g.

FAQs

Victorian jewellery spans Queen Victorias reign from 1837 to 1901, generally divided into the Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic periods, each reflecting changing cultural sentiments, mourning customs, and industrial advancements.

These items typically utilized low-to-high carat yellow gold, often incorporating gilt metals, rolled gold, natural gemstones such as turquoise, and decorative techniques like granulation, filigree, and vitreous enamel.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-specific findings such as shepherds crook hooks, hand-cut components, natural material inclusions, and traditional soldering methods rather than modern laser welding.

Pairing historic jewellery with minimal modern attire creates a striking contrast, allowing the intricate craftsmanship and distinctive colour palette of the Victorian era to serve as a focal point.

Keep such pieces away from moisture, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. Store them individually in lined boxes to prevent scratching the delicate enamel surfaces and soft metals.
