About the Item

Antique Silver and 18K Gold Earrings with Turquoise Drops and Rose-Cut Diamonds. Late 19th / Early 20th Century, Victorian Era. A delicate and elegant pair of antique earrings, crafted in silver and 18K gold. Each earring features a vibrant turquoise drop (approx. 10 x 17 mm) suspended under rose-cut diamonds set in silver over gold, characteristic of the late Victorian aesthetic. The total height of the earrings is approximately 45 mm, with a combined weight of 9 grams. Presented in a gorgeous fitted period case. Turquoise is one of the oldest known gemstones, treasured for thousands of years for its vivid blue to green hues. Its name comes from the French "pierre turquoise", meaning "Turkish stone," as it was introduced to Europe through trade routes that passed through Turkey. In ancient Egypt, turquoise adorned the tombs of pharaohs and was believed to offer protection and bring good fortune. It was equally valued in Persia (modern-day Iran), where it symbolized heaven and was often used in elaborate inlay work. Native American cultures have also long prized turquoise, incorporating it into silver jewelry and ceremonial objects. During the Victorian era, turquoise experienced a revival in European jewelry, often paired with pearls or diamonds. Its opaque color provided a striking contrast to the sparkle of diamonds and the softness of rose gold or silver, making it a popular choice for sentimental and romantic pieces.
