Victorian Dangle Earrings
VICTORIAN STYLE
The reign of Queen Victoria encapsulates a quickly evolving period of history — and jewelry styles were no exception. No single period has seen such a diverse group of jewelry attributed to it than the Victorian era. Today, there is a vast collection of authentic antique Victorian jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.
Victorian jewelry is named after Queen Victoria, whose reign lasted from 1837 to 1901, making her the second longest-ruling monarch. (She was surpassed by Queen Elizabeth II in 2015.) During this time, different styles of fashion and jewelry came and went. Thanks to our fascination with royalty and swoon-worthy melodramas like Netflix’s The Crown — which is rife with evocative fashion, jewelry and interiors — and the 2017 feature film Victoria & Abdul, we are all familiar with her story. After the death of Victoria’s father and three childless uncles, she ascended to the throne at age 18. In 1840, Queen Victoria married the love of her life, her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Queen Victoria loved serpentine jewels, and she had even more power to shape trends than Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle do today. The British monarch’s best-known piece in this mold is the gold coiled-snake engagement ring she received from Prince Albert — the sinuous reptile was considered a symbol of everlasting love.
The Queen's 63-year reign has been divided by historians into the Romantic period, the early happy years, circa 1837–60; the Grand period, marked by the deaths of the Queen’s mother and husband, circa 1860–80; and the late Victorian or Aesthetic period, which lasted from about 1880 until 1901 and ushered in the Belle Époque. Queen Victoria wore her heart on her sleeve, and her fashion and jewelry reflected her emotions.
Romantic period jewelry, which featured common decorative motifs and was embellished with seed pearls, coral and turquoise, was a celebration of the young monarch’s love. Everything changed with the death of Prince Albert, and the Grand period is most often associated with mourning jewelry. Jewelry was smaller, lighter and more dainty during the late Victorian period. During this era, diamonds came into fashion, and semiprecious gems such as amethysts and opals became prevalent, too. Using gemstones for their natural beauty and not their worth was something that jewelers of the era felt passionate about, and this ideology would really become relevant in Art Nouveau jewelry.

Located in New York, NY
Introducing our Victorian 33.22 Cttw. Tanzanite, Diamond, and Emerald Dangle Earrings—an exquisite manifestation of timeless beauty and natural grace.
At the heart of these earrings are the pear-shaped tanzanites, delicately positioned at both the surmount and drop, creating an elegant symmetry that captivates the eye. Encased in enchanting diamond halos, set against a black rhodium backdrop, these tanzanite drops face each other in perfect harmony. The surmount drop, slightly smaller than its counterpart, adds a touch of dynamic balance to the design.
The connection between the drops is a stem adorned with diamonds and emeralds, expertly crafted to mimic the organic beauty of nature. Emeralds, shaped in delicate leaf motifs, enhance the allure of the design, each one placed alongside baguette diamonds to create a seamless, natural aesthetic.
The post and clutch, made of 18k gold, provide a secure and luxurious foundation, ensuring these earrings are not only a visual delight but also a joy to wear. The rest of the body, crafted in silver with a black rhodium top, strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and classic opulence.
With a total metal weight of 10.71 grams, these earrings are adorned with approximately 1.72 carats of diamonds, showcasing a mesmerizing play of light. The tanzanites, with a weight of 28.99 carats, exhibit a deep and alluring hue, making these earrings a true statement of luxury.

Grand Tour 18k Yellow Gold Micromosaic Double Drop Earrings
1.5" length from base of ear wire
11 grams in weight for both earrings
Made in Italy
c.1860s
Embark on the tradition of the Grand Tour with our exquisite 18k Yellow Gold Micromosaic Double Drop Earrings. Crafted with the utmost skill and precision in Italy, these earrings are rich in cultural heritage and embody the artistic craftsmanship of the era.
Micromosaics, tiny fragments of glass known as tesserae meticulously arranged to create intricate scenes, portraits, or landscapes, became highly sought-after treasures during the 19th century. Coined by Sir Arthur Gilbert, the term “micromosaic” distinguished these works from traditional mosaics. The heyday of micro mosaic jewelry coincided with the Grand Tour, a cultural journey undertaken by affluent Europeans and Americans to absorb Europe's art and culture. Italy, with its history and artistic heritage, was a favored destination, where travelers acquired micromosaic jewelry as cherished souvenirs.
These earrings have all the hallmarks of a sentimental lover. Flowers, especially, Forget Me Nots, symbolizing remembrance and true love, have captivated romantics for centuries. Legend has it that a knight, while picking Forget Me Nots for his lady, fell into a stream and, in a final act of love, tossed the flowers to her while crying, "Forget-me-not!" Cherubs, evolving from earthly desires to angelic symbolism, added celestial grace to Italian art. Often depicted as chubby, winged children, cherubs embodied innocence, purity, and divine love. In micromosaic jewelry, cherubs became...
