A precious beauty from a time when real Pearls were rare and only for the wealthy, this adorable pair of antique chandelier earrings made of luminous hand blown Georgian glass pearls is a rare survivor. Delicate and mysteriously enchanting in that they are totally unique, as each lustrous bead has been laboriously handmade; first by hand blowing the tiny glass spheres, then lining them with silvery liquid 'essence d'orient', made from fish scales, and then filling each bead with wax in order to stabilise and strengthen the beads, giving them the convincing weight.
Circa 1840's, each measures 7cm in length, and they can be worn in two ways: just the floral elements or with the chandelier of frothily lustred 'Pearls' attached.
As you can imagine, they are enormously fragile and it is somewhat of a miracle to have survived these centuries, they would make the most enchantingly unique wedding jewels.
