We are delighted to offer this spectacular pair of antique Victorian 18ct gold earrings, made c.1880.
This unique and beautiful pair is made in the Etruscan revival style, capturing the essence of the period's mystical nature and enchanting designs.
Featuring a wonderful three-tier design, each section moves freely and truly comes to life upon wearing.
The central half-sphere (cabochon-like) section is embellished with fine engravings of scrolled motifs and is a lovely touch that creates a different appearance to the rest of the glossy/shiny surface.
The 'drops' below have a wonderful and elegant point that juxtaposes the roundness above and creates a striking yet elegant contrast. The intricate craftsmanship and skill in making such a delicate yet ornate design are wonderful in this piece.
Such aesthetic design in combination with the fine engravings is a testament to the stylish craftsmanship of the Victorian era.A remarkable piece of fine Victorian jewellery whether it be a special gift or for a personal addition.
This pair would most certainly make for a unique addition for the distinguished antique jewellery lover and an instant conversation starter upon wearing. Perfect as a standalone accessory to accentuate your outfit or among other Victorian jewellery.
The pair is unmarked (other than the maker's mark "JB") as is common with articles of this period and as such we have tested it fully with results indicating 18ct solid gold.
All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary modern hard shell gift box with a velvet interior. Please note, any other antique boxes/display items are not included unless otherwise stated.

- Victorian 1880 Etruscan Revival Classic Amphoras Drop Earrings 18kt Yellow GoldLocated in Miami, FLEtruscan-Roman revival ear drops pendants. Magnificent oversized drop earrings, from the Victorian Era (1837-1901) circa 1880. These beautiful pair has been crafted with etruscan-roman revival patterns in solid yellow gold of 18 karats, with high polished finish. The main elements are two conical amphorae with swan-shaped handles. These hang from two straight tensors attached to a round element simulating a shield. They are suited with hinged flexibles French hooks for pierced. These extraordinary ear pendants are made with extreme elegance and the design was made with soft and simple lines, without exaggerating with ornate decorative motifs, typical of the time. Weight: 40 Grams, (25.64 Dwt). Measurements: 83 mm by 27 mm (3.25 x 1.06 Inches). Swan, is the meaning of grace, beauty, love, trust, and loyalty. Swan symbolism is also linked to inner beauty and self-love. The swan is an emblem of feminine beauty and softness and has even had operas and ballets written about it. In Wagner’s 1848 opera, Lohengrin, the Swan recreates the romanticized tail of the Swan Knight, or the son of Percival, who travels on a boat pulled by Swans and rescues a Damsel in distress. Though he is the hero of the story, the Swans symbolize the journey to find purity, love and romance, even at personal sacrifice. Amphora, is a type of large jar originating from Greek and Etruscan pottery, widely used in the Roman Empire, characterized by being a tall fusiform-shaped vessel, with a narrow neck and two openwork handles on the sides of it, usually ending in a point to place it sunk in the sandy soil or on an upright. It was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as the main means of transporting and storing grapes, olives, olive oil, cereals, fish...Category
