Antique Victorian 14 carat gold and pearl jewelry parure, consisting of a pair of earrings and pendant-brooch. Made 19th century - circa 1880-1890. Total length of pendant-brooch is about 1 1/2 inches and width is approx 1 1/8 inches. Total weight is 13 grams. Each piece with a finely detailed flower on top of an open amphora or urn-shape with swags of foliage on either side and a cross-over bow at the bottom apex. A pearl is suspended in the open space of the urn / amphora and another at the bottom. Gold chains are suspended from the handles of the amphorae and connect to the bottom pearls, forming an outer loop. The entire surface area of the gold is engraved and moulded with very fine detail and with an applied orb in the center of each flower. Additional attraction results from the swing of pearls and gold chains as the wearer moves. Very fine workmanship and quality. The larger piece can be worn as either a brooch or pendant. The earrings have very comfortable loops with a catch at the back for additional security. Each piece is hallmarked 14K. Larger pearls may be a replacement - the Victorians tended to use seed pearls.
