Feminine and pretty articulated drop earrings decorated with wirework torpedo-shaped drops beneath a ribbon and scroll mount.

The shepherd hooks for pierced ears are partially covered by a small dome decorated with gold balls in a floral pattern.
The earrings are hollow so, despite their size, they are comfortable to wear.

The rich golden bloom reflects light especially at night with artificial light or under glowing candlelight.

These earrings have a lovely sense of proportion and would be the original configuration.

Pristine antique condition without dents.
Circa 1870 

Metal: Tests for 18ct yellow gold.

Height: 4.74 cm from the base of the shepherd hook to the base of the earrings.

Weight per earring: 2.2gm
