Dating to the 1870's or so, a most beautiful pair of antique drop earrings in the historical revivalist mood. A joy to see they have survived all this time to bring enjoyment to a new heart. What we particularly love is the way in which the shape is echoed in each element...
Lavishly ornamented with applied twisted wirework, these are an especially fine example of the type of jewellery which was made in the Birmingham workshops for those who couldn't afford the luxury of high carat Gold and gemstones. There would have been many processes involved in creating such lovely pieces as this!
Doubly precious as they are such a scarce find nowadays; to treasure and appreciate all the more.
Stones: hand faceted purple Glass.
Metal: A base metal akin to Pinchbeck which holds its colouring well. They have been gilded to bring a mattified finish as was the fashion in their day.

Measurements: they hang two inches from the top of the ear wires.
