These antique Victorian earrings with amethysts and natural pearls are handcrafted in 18k yellow gold, weigh 11.4g and measure 5.1cm long, 15mm wide and 6mm deep. Epitomizing a popular design of pendent earrings in vogue during the second quarter of the 19th century, these authentic pristine Victorian ear adornments are symptomatic of the revival of the French 18th century pendeloque style, especially favored by Empress Eugenie. The majority of such earrings were set with a combination of precious or semi-precious stones and natural pearls depicting a large pear-shaped drop, most frequently a faceted amethyst or citrine, suspended from a similarly mounted single-stone circular or ovular surmount. These exquisite earrings, Victorian French style pendeloques par excellence, expose a pair of pear-shaped faceted amethysts, cumulatively weighing 16.38cts measuring 24.47mm long and 11.17mm wide, graded a most beautiful 'regal-purple' color and 'very good' clarity. Secured by multiple yellow gold prongs of highly ornate, fleur-de-lis inspired design, the absorbing purple color gemstones are surrounded by concentric ovular borders comprising temptingly delicate natural half-pearls of a tender 'cream' color, measuring 2mm in diameter, mounted in closed settings within individual yellow gold bezels secured by ornately scalloped perimeters. A solitaire natural half-pearl centering each gemstone within an absorbing chased yellow gold lozenge setting enhances this color-enriched assemblage. The pear-shaped amethysts suspend 'en tremblant' from intriguing orbicular ear-clips adorned with matching grade round-faceted amethysts cumulatively weighing 2.68cts measuring 8.26mm in diameter, mounted within identical multiple prongs, enhanced by a dainty natural half pearl closed-set in a lozenge frame. These authentic Victorian earrings, in perfect and pristine condition despite the considerable passage of time, feature screw-on posts and decorative, florally inspired clasps designed exclusively for pierced ears.
