Victorian 18 Carat Yellow Gold Diamond and Pearl Drop Earrings

A pair of Victorian 18 carat yellow gold drop earrings from the 1880's set with old European-cut diamonds, rose-cut diamonds and elegant pearl drops. The design reflects classic Victorian earrings, featuring a leafy diamond-set surmount leading into an openwork drop framed in antique gold and silver-topped settings. The softly rounded old cuts give a warm antique brilliance, while the rose cut diamonds add to the subtle sparkle. Each earring is finished with a suspended pearl that moves delicately when worn. Traditional hinged fittings remain true to the period and give the comfort and movement typical of Victorian earrings.
