These Victorian style gold earrings of Etruscan revival inspiration are crafted in 18k yellow gold, weigh 5.7g and measure 4.3cm long and 11.5mm wide. These Victorian style gold earrings epitomize the impact of 1870's and 1880's Archaeological Revival on jewelry design and craftsmanship. Most jewelry produced throughout Europe during these decades was inspired by a combination of archaeological influences, deriving from classical Greece and Egypt, the Gothic and the Neo-Renaissance eras. The archaeological supplied endless sources of inspiration in the form of amphorae, inverted drops decorated with granulation, Greek keys, and many others. These alluring Victorian style gold earrings depict an antique Hellenistic variety of amphorae composed of tapering globular components rendered in Etruscan style granulation. The alluring 'amphorae' suspend 'en tremblant' from delicate 'sunburst' profiles rendered in Etruscan style and adorned with round faceted rubies cumulatively weighing 0.70cts, measuring 3.89mm in diameter, graded 'dark fuchsia' color and 'poor' clarity. These Victorian style gold earrings feature the original shepherds' hook ear-wires, designed exclusively for pierced ears.
