I've been collecting antique Victorian jewelry for several years and am (reluctantly) trying to find new homes for some of my pieces. This is my last, and most precious, pair of Victorian fine earrings, dating to the 1870s and constructed in Etruscan Revival style, with gold wire scroll-work, three-dimensional rose gold clover-like shapes surrounding large prong-set amethysts, and seed pearls at the bottom of each earring. The earwires are not original to the earrings but are of fine quality. I don't have a metal tester but the antique dealer I bought them from on Ruby Lane, a reputable site for antique jewelry, said they'd been tested at 12k. They measure approximately 2 inches long including the drop of the earwires. I can find no evidence of any damage to the earrings--they are in wonderful shape for their age and the stones and pearls appear secure in their settings. You can see a tiny amount of green color where some of the solder is at certain parts of the back and on the etruscan work, but you only notice this when examining them extremely close up (see pics). They are comfortable to wear and are striking to look at--I have received tons of compliments each time I wear them. I have held onto these for several years, refusing to sell them because I love them so much, but I don't wear them often and thought I'd see if someone else wanted to give them a home. I'm selling them for just about what I paid for them and if they don't sell I'll likely keep them, so act now if you're interested! Will ship Priority Mail to US, UK or Canadian buyer only. Payment must be made by Paypal and within 3 days of listing's close. I do not accept returns so please be sure of your purchase! Any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking!
