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.
