Dating to the prestigious Grand Period (circa 1870), these striking antique Victorian drop earrings are crafted in bright 9ct yellow “bloomed” gold, exemplifying the bold, structural aesthetic of the Archaeological Revival style. They feature a refined triple-ribbed “U” motif that interlocks with a striking hollow-formed hoop, creating an abstract “love knot” - a cherished Victorian symbol of an unbreakable bond.
Over a century on, these bold Victorian earrings remain in excellent condition, the gold having developed a beautifully smooth finish and rich patina with age. A perfect addition for any collector of fine Victorian jewellery, they are sure to catch the eye and spark conversation.
