Victorian 14k Yellow Gold Turquoise Drop Earrings
Victorian 14k Yellow Gold Turquoise Drop Earrings
I am absolutely in love with this beautiful pair of antique drop earrings- they date back to the Victorian age, and are in wonderful condition. The 14k yellow gold setting has a perfect aged patina, and each earring has 5 darling turquoise cabochons surrounded by rope details. The body of these earrings are made up of two loops interconnected, with the bottom loop flaring out into a gorgeous vine leaf motif. Vines and floral imagery are a sure fire way to identify a Victorian piece of jewelry.
These are so ornate and elegant, and their age only enhances their beauty. The design also gives them nice articulation and movement. The total length of each earring is approximately 38 mm, and each earring weighs 5.2 grams, so they aren’t too heavy on the ears.
