Brooch / pin is a little over 2 inches long; earrings about 1 1/2 inches long, not including the gold loops.

The jewellery is composed of very finely set seed pearls on a mother of pearl base. They are connected with white horse hair. Small pearls form little focal points. The pearls are arranged in a twining, overlapping arrangement with swags looping around the sides and bottom and tassles suspended from the bottom. THe work is exquisite. Tightly arranged, with no loose or missing bits. Very good condition. Status: For Sale Reference#: 4094 Condition: good Year: 1860 Title: ANTIQUE VICTORIAN GOLD PEARL ON MOP SET EARRINGS BROOCH
