These gorgeous Victorian earrings are made with two textures of gold which set off each component beautifully. The bright, polished gold tops and pendulum drops at the bottom contrast with the matte finish of the centre bead, which features intricate applied gold detailing typical of the Etruscan style so popular in the Victorian era. They are made from a rich, warm coloured 15ct yellow gold. Harder than a marriage to keep together, this pair of earrings are approaching 150 years of age and are in excellent condition - they would made a very special addition to any jewellery collection.
