About the Item

Our earrings of gilded silver feature a surprisingly robust openwork pattern of leaves and flowers cleverly set in a pendeloque shape with small pairs of acorns which can be seen on close inspection. The horticultural details were carved by hand and are well articulated. Incorporating an alloy of gilding over silver was newly popularized around the mid 1800's after the production of Pinchbeck ended. It gives the earrings a gold appearance to match your gold jewelry. These are attractive and fun earrings to wear for work or play, in casual wear or for a more serious work event. The long length of 2+ inches give the earrings a formidable presence. A true find, indeed.
