Victorian 21K Etruscan Revival Earrings
A pair of antique statement earrings circa 1870, crafted in glowing 21k gold accented by creamy white pearls. The ornate wire filigree decoration is reminiscent of the Ancient Etruscan styles that were mesmerizing Victorian society at the time, as a result of major 19th century archeological discoveries in Italy.
Lightweight enough for comfortable everyday wear.
Details: Measuring approximately 1 1/2" north to south from top of the earwire curve to bottom of the drop, and 13/16" at the widest. The original ear wires were damaged so we replaced them with sturdy standard gauge 14k wires. The drops are not marked for gold content but professionally tests to 21k. Combined weight of approximately 8.7 grams.
Condition: In excellent condition with a gentle all over antique patina speaking to dignified age.
