c1820 Shell Drop Earrings
Sold
An unusual pair of early 19th century Georgian drop earrings with tiers of filigree, shells, and cannetille pendants in a design reminiscent of shell grottos-- a popular feature of 17th and 18th century English country houses in which a cave-like structure was built and lined with seashells. The earrings are built in 18K yellow gold and are likely English and dating to c1820.
