14k Gold Victorian Etruscan Revival Dangle Earrings with Pearls

About the Item

This is a stunning pair of 14k Etruscan Revival drop earrings featuring intricate gold detailing and a delicate Mississippi river pearl dangling element. The shape of the earrings resembles an elongated urn hanging from an Etruscan Revival ball. Both ball and urn have delicate wirework and granulation indicative of Etruscan Revival jewelry. They weigh 4.8 grams, and measure 2” from the top of the backing to the bottom of the seed pearl, hanging beautifully when worn with nice movement and glow. These earrings date back to the 1880's when the trend of Etruscan Revival jewelry was popular. The revival of Etruscan jewelry started in the 1800's when a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome revealed breathtaking pieces of jewelry. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan Revival jewelry quickly rose to popularity. While not marked these earrings acid test to be 14k Gold.

  • Victorian 14K Gold Cannetille Etruscan Revival Bracelet
    Located in Venice, CA
    A beautiful 14k yellow gold bracelet from the Etruscan Revival period, circa 1880. The bracelet is exquisitely hand-made and is a fine example of cannetille gold work, which is similar to filigree work with fine gold wires that curl around thinly hammered sheets. Cannetille gold work was inspired by embroidery and nature. The repeating curling designs on each segment of the bracelet are harmonious and elegant. The diamond shape of the segment has an oval decoration, framed with gold wirework, and inside this, there is a symmetrical curling design. Each segment measures one inch and the bracelet, made up of six segments, is approximately seven inches. Each segment is hollow, and connected through thick gold links decorated with gold beads. The bracelet feels great when worn, and has a safety chain so that it doesn't fall off. The bracelet weighs a total of 18 grams and is in perfect condition. This bracelet displays the aesthetic tastes of an era of nostalgia and romance. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...

  • 14k Gold Dangle Earrings with White Akoya Pearls
    By Martha Seely
    Located in Carlisle, MA
    These pearl earrings are the new power pearls - definitely NOT your grandmother's pearls. They are Medium Spiral Dangle Earrings from the Orbit collection in 14k spirals with a 20 gauge ear wire and a lustrous, 7-8.5mm Akoya pearl. The earrings hang 2". The double-spiral is about 1" tall by 3/4" wide. And because of the way it is made, the spirals move, creating a different earring depending on movements. They are lightweight and elegant - a non-traditional way to wear a beautiful pearl. This design is wearable with almost every outfit - except the gym and the most fancy events. I even wear them with my blue jeans, when I run to the grocery store. These are simple and without any added diamonds, but diamonds can be added. These earrings are hand finished and fabricated. Standard for these is a white Akoya...
