Description

These little Victorian cherubs are lovely and crisp and rendered in gold of an unmistakably rich high-carat colour.

• Condition: The posts have been soldered a little clumsily (almost certainly converted long ago from buttons) but the earrings are in excellent antique condition.

• Fixing: Nine-carat gold butterflies.

• Hallmarks/stamps: Each earring bears a 15CT plaque on the reverse and has been tested to confirm it is 15-carat gold. Fifteen-carat gold pieces are not overly common (in the UK only really used between 1854 and 1932) and this metal fineness was generally used in high quality pieces.

• Era: Victorian.

• Size: 1.4cm diameter.

• Weight: 4.3g.

FAQs

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is typically categorised into three periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic. It often features symbolic motifs such as cherubs, hearts, and serpents, reflecting the sentimental and artistic values of the era.

During the Victorian era, 15-carat gold was commonly utilised in high-end British jewellery production, offering a rich yellow hue due to the specific alloy ratio of 62.5% pure gold mixed with silver and copper. This hallmark was legally standard in Britain from 1854 until 1932.

Authentic pieces often feature period-appropriate fastenings, hand-chased or repousse detailing rather than modern casting, and British hallmarks indicating the gold carat. The presence of natural ageing characteristics, such as subtle surface wear and traditional patination, also aids authentication.

Antique earrings can be paired with contemporary minimalist outfits to allow the historical craftsmanship to stand out as a focal point. Mixing antique gold pieces with modern apparel creates a sophisticated contrast between heritage design and contemporary aesthetics.

Antique pieces should be stored individually in soft pouches or lined boxes to prevent scratching. Cleaning should be done gently using a soft, dry cloth; harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive brushes must be avoided to protect delicate repousse work.
