Victorian Pearl & Diamond Flower Earrings
A beautiful pair of late Victorian split pearl and old cut diamond drop earrings, crafted in 15ct yellow gold. Each earring is composed of wonderfully delicate floral and foliate motifs, articulated so that the lower clusters move gently beneath the ear. Luminous split pearls form tiny flowers, while scrolling gold leaves and a single old cut diamond bring a subtle touch of sparkle.
There is something wonderfully romantic about the design, almost like little Victorian posies gathered in gold, with the pearls appearing as tiny blossoms suspended from curling leaves.
Pearls were deeply loved by the Victorians and traditionally symbolised purity, love and wisdom, while diamonds have long represented enduring love and constancy. Together they give these earrings a particularly sentimental quality.
Finished with rolled gold screw back fittings, they are a beautiful example of Victorian jewellery designed to move and shimmer as they are worn - delicate, botanical and wonderfully romantic.
“The earth laughs in flowers.”
