  • ColourWarm Gold
  • MotifsGranulated beadwork border, Central star motif, Oval drop form, Wire hook fastenings

These Victorian Etruscan Revival earrings are formed from nine-carat yellow gold in a warm gold colour, presenting a dainty pair of repoussé drop pendants with wire hook fastenings. Each oval drop showcases a raised central star motif within a textured border, finished with fine granulated beadwork around the outer edge and suspended from a delicate hinged wire fitting. The design relies on pressing the metal from behind to create a lightweight construction suited for comfortable wear. The pair rests inside a dark navy blue velvet-lined presentation box featuring cream satin upholstery on the interior lid and a brass clasp mechanism at the front. The total drop measures 3.2cm from the top of the ear wire, with the pendant section measuring 1.8 by 1.5cm. These jewels suit modern wear as elegant everyday earrings for formal occasions or daily ensembles, easily stored within a traditional jewellery box or vanity display.

FAQs

Etruscan Revival jewellery refers to 19th-century decorative pieces inspired by ancient Etruscan metalwork unearthed during Mediterranean archaeological excavations. The movement favoured intricate gold techniques including granulation, filigree, and raised beadwork.

Victorian Etruscan Revival items were predominantly constructed from yellow gold of various purities, ranging from 9ct to 18ct, often left unplated to showcase the warm, natural hue of the metal.

Authentic pieces feature handcrafted micro-beading or wirework motifs, era-appropriate ear fastenings such as shepherd hooks, and characteristic Victorian hallmarks or assay marks indicating gold purity.

Small antique gold drop earrings complement contemporary tailored clothing and minimal necklines, adding texture and historical detail without visually cluttering an ensemble.

Clean 9ct gold jewellery gently using a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild detergent. Avoid submersing pieces with intricate hollow construction or delicate mechanical joins in ultrasonic cleaners.
