Description
These exquisite Victorian 9ct gold foiled crystal screw-back earrings, dating to circa 1870, showcase the delicate craftsmanship and romantic designs characteristic of the era.
Crafted from 9-carat gold, they feature foiled crystal settings, a technique used in antique jewellery to enhance the brilliance and depth of the stones. The screw-back fittings, allow for comfortable wear without the need for pierced ears.
Each earring features a gracefully elongated drop design, suspended from a decorative screw-back post adorned with fine gold detailing. The top section consists of a small, rounded gold element leading to an ornate, scrolling gold framework that elegantly cradles the faceted clear or pale blue foiled crystals.
The round-cut crystals, set within a delicate beaded or milgrain gold border, shimmer beautifully against the metal’s warm golden hue. Below, the gold extends into an intricate curling filigree motif, reflecting the floral and nature-inspired influences of Victorian Rococo Revival styles.
These earrings are a stunning testament to 19th-century craftsmanship, making them a perfect addition to any antique jewellery collection or a timeless choice for those who appreciate vintage elegance.
