An exquisite pair of Etruscan revival drop earrings made during the mid Victorian era (Circa 1860). The pair is fashioned in 18ct gold with ornate, Etruscan inspired metalwork, foliate motifs and four coral stones depicting hanging fruit.
Etruscan revival pieces were crafted in the mid 1800s when ancient Etruscan jewellery was unearthed in tombs outside of Rome beginning a fascination with the style and giving birth to these beautiful pieces which were crafted in the same elaborate fashion.
They’re in excellent condition and look beautiful dangling from each ear.
