About the Item

A elegant pair of antique Victorian dangle earrings, crafted in 14 karat gold and set with beautifully patterned petrified wood drops. Each elongated, drop-shaped capsule is topped with a finely detailed gold cap and suspended beneath a delicate Tudor rose motif, a popular decorative element in late 19th-century jewelry. The earrings capture a poetic balance between nature and craftsmanship, the warm glow of gold paired with the organic beauty of fossilized wood. The ear wires feature an additional safety hook, typical of high-quality Victorian earrings, allowing for secure wear. Petrified wood is a form of fossilized timber in which organic material has been replaced by minerals over millions of years while preserving the fine grain of the original tree. The natural striations and earthy tones visible in these earrings are a testament to both geological time and Victorian fascination with natural history.

Antique Victorian Diamonds and Gold with Silver Earrings, 19th Century
Located in Rotterdam, NL
An antique 19th century pair of yellow gold earrings set with rose-cut diamonds crafted in a silver setting. These antique Dutch dangle earrings have a beautiful design with leaves and a flower with a large diamond in the middle - while the stem and leaves feature smaller diamonds. The diamonds in the earrings have a diameter between 1.5 - 5.1 mm. These rose cut diamonds are quite clear in color and are foiled to give them more sparkle. The allure, the subtle shine of this cut, the imperfect shape of the diamond give this cut its own style. The brisures or ear hooks are attached to it at a later period. Rose cut can be counted among the oldest diamond cuts. Unlike brilliant cuts, the rose has no volume at the colet, no point downwards. The underside of the rose is flat. The top is spherical facet cut. The play of light is less than that of the brilliant cut. Roses were widely used in antique jewelry and now in antique style jewelry...
