A refined pair of late Victorian earrings (circa 1890–1900) featuring richly hued, rose cut almandine garnets set in warm 14k gold, accented by delicate rose-cut diamond surmounts. The interplay of deep red garnet and the subtle shimmer of antique diamonds evokes the romantic elegance of the era’s design sensibility.
Each earring measures approximately 0.6 inches from the top of the ear wire to the bottom by 0.4 inches wide, with a combined weight of 3.15 grams. The proportions are balanced and flattering, offering an understated yet luxurious presence when worn.
The gold has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with traditional jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating its 14k gold composition. In excellent antique condition, these earrings exemplify Victorian artistry and enduring sophistication, perfect for collectors who value jewels rich in both history and charm.
