About the Item

A pair of Victorian gold earrings designed as amphorae with scrolled openwork handles, in 15k gold. With original box. These finely crafted earrings take the form of classical amphora vessels, their elongated bodies tapering to a soft point below a rounded shoulder and domed finial. The silhouettes are elegantly proportioned, drawing on ancient Greek and Etruscan precedents so admired during the Victorian period. Each amphora is flanked by delicate openwork handles, their scrolling forms rendered with fine beaded detail that adds both texture and lightness to the design. A band of applied ornament encircles the midsection, composed of small articulated elements that introduce subtle movement and a sense of intricate craftsmanship. The satin-like finish of the gold contrasts with polished accents, enhancing the sculptural quality of the forms while maintaining a soft, antique glow. Suspended from simple hooks, the earrings hang with a graceful, elongated line. * Free shipping * Includes letter of authenticity for insurance purposes * Please do not hesitate to request a video or additional photos of specific details.
