About the Item
A striking pair of 19th-century earrings crafted in high-carat 21KT yellow gold, designed in an ornate drop form typical of the period. Each earring centres on an oval amethyst set beneath a silver-topped diamond cross motif, framed by a border of natural pearls. The richly decorated gold surround is finished with articulated fringe drops, adding movement and visual drama when worn.
The combination of vibrant amethyst, luminous pearls, and diamond-set silver elements reflects traditional 19th-century jewellery construction, where contrasting materials were used to enhance brilliance and colour under candlelight. The pronounced fringe design and high gold content give these earrings strong presence, making them both decorative and theatrical examples of period jewellery.
