A fabulous pair of Antique Etruscan revival earrings from the mid Victorian era (Circa 1870) shaped as a long, pointed icicle with delicate rope-like tassels draped over the top.
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 a distinctive pair and fashioned entirely in Pinchbeck with a shining 18ct Gold finish.
