For sale are these cute floral squared earrings. These 18 karat yellow gold dormeuse earrings (also called sleepers) have a wire to go through your earlobe and are decorated with flower shaped ornaments, little seed pearls & rubies and finished with a lot of detail. The fine details are well made and preserved considering their age, yet we like to mention that one of them is a bit dented as visble in the photo's. These Flower shaped beauties are clearly made with love.
These lovely earrings where made during the 19th century, 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.
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.
