A delicate pair of Victorian drop earrings (circa 1870-1890), designed as graceful 14 karat gold orbs adorned with finely rendered turquoise floral motifs. The vivid blue turquoise provides lively contrast against the warm gold, while the spherical form lends soft movement and dimension when worn. Floral symbolism was especially beloved in late 19th-century jewelry, reflecting themes of affection and natural beauty.
Each earring measures 0.9 inches from the top of the ear wire to the bottom and 0.3 inches wide, with a combined weight of 2.09 grams, offering an elegant and lightweight presence.
They are presented in good antique condition, with some visible seams and minor indentations visible under very close inspection. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 14K gold construction. A refined and wearable example of Victorian decorative design.
