Antique Pearl and Paste Earrings of 12k Gold

A delicate pair of antique earrings dating to 1890–1900, designed as charming flowers crafted from mother-of-pearl and paste (glass) accents, fitted with 12k gold latch backs. The luminous iridescence of the mother-of-pearl petals is beautifully complemented by the soft sparkle of the paste accents, creating a refined and feminine composition characteristic of late Victorian jewelry.

Each earring measures 0.5 inches by 0.35 inches wide, with a combined weight of 1.85 grams, offering a light and comfortable presence when worn. They are presented in very good antique condition, with details well preserved and closures functioning properly.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming 12k composition.
