Victorian 18kt Etruscan Wirework + Carved Horn Fly Earrings
SKU:44415
An unusual and exquisite pair of earrings from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! Crafted in blooming 18kt yellow gold, these superb earrings begin with a simple earring wire above a round topper. The surmount is slightly convex and ornately adorned with delicate Etruscan wirework, and encircled by a twisted rope border. A teardrop-shaped link dangles from the center and a larger, complementary gold disc attached by two decorative arms hangs below. Resting in the center of the larger circular link is a whimsical fly, hand carved from horn. The insect has a detailed face and wings and rests atop the disc on six gold legs which peek from beneath its body. A simple earring wire tops the pair, the earrings dangle with lovely movement. These earrings are perfect for any Victorian jewelry aficionado!
Measurements: The earrings hang approximately 2 1/16" long including the earring wire. They measure approximately 3/4" at their widest point.
