Antique Griffin Conversion Earrings of 14k Gold

These striking earrings were converted from antique buttons (circa 1890) and now feature finely detailed griffins crafted in 14k gold, suspended from added gold ear wires. The mythical griffin—half eagle, half lion—was a beloved Victorian motif symbolizing courage, protection, and strength.

Each earring measures 1.05 inches from the top of the ear wire to the base by 0.5 inches across. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming purity and integrity.

In excellent condition, these earrings are a unique transformation of antique elements, offering both historical charm and modern versatility for the collector of rare and symbolic jewelry.

Materials: 14k gold.
