For sale is this wonderful pair of late Victorian 18 Karat yellow gold dormeuse earrings. They are decorated by a twisted boarder and an elegant hand engraved flower. The flower head is set with a small but bright pink none gemstone, which bring the perfect amount of colour to these elegant jewels. These hollow dormeuse earrings are made in 18karat yellow gold.
These lovely earrings where made at the end of the 19th century in Western-Europe, when Queen Victoria was the ruler of the United Kingdom. Queen Victoria was an influential person. Her style and sense of fashion became almost a benchmark during her reign. Queen Victoria has devoted much attention on bringing nature into her home and that of her nation throughout her reign. For example plants but also animals were often depicted in her jewellery but also as decoration on furniture and other utensils.
The earrings have a typical way to open and close, which will be hard in the beginning if this would be your first pair like this. But it will get easier and easier to put them on, up to the point where you will prefer this type of earring-closure over all the rest.
These dainty earrings are in good condition considering their age. We love everything about these elegant earrings. Their size, weight and look make them the perfect pair to wear daily & will make you feel special and elegant, just like the earrings. We hope to find a new and warm home for them, where they will be treasured the way they should be treasured.
