Antique, Victorian earrings. 14carat gold set with turquoise and pearls. Made 1830 - 1870. Measurements: 1 3/4 inches long. Weigh 6.9 grams. Suspended from a gold globe on a stud (replacing the original wirework), the surmount in the form of a bow, set with cabochon turquoise. This is attached to band of cabochons that loops around itself, like an irregular number 8 and is surrounded on the sides by foliage in applied gold leaves. Within the larger, upper loop of the ''8'', are dangling suspended tiny gems -a pearl and turquoise. The lower looping band also suspends a pair of gold leaves, matching those on the outer border with a larger pearl forming the bottom terminal. The earrings combine a fairly large size with great delicacy in the design and workmanship, and therefore suitable for all sizes and tastes and do not drag the earlobe down despite their size. Classic, well made Victorian earrings that are great for either day or night wear, with colours that match and enhance every complexion. No hallmarks, but test for 14k gold. Good condition.
