A pair of c1880 Victorian drop earrings designed in the style of Etruscan jewelry– a 19th century trend inspired by archaeological discoveries at the time. Victorian goldsmiths adopted both the styles of ancient designs, and the goldsmithing techniques, especially granulation–– a labor-intensive technique for decorating a gold surface with minuscule granules of gold.

Materials

Bloomed 14K Gold

Date

c1880

Condition

Good. One has a very small dent at the back. Wires are likely replacements and are a bit thin.
