Victorian Tortoiseshell Pique Drop Earrings

687F
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fine pair of tortoiseshell drop earrings delicately inlaid with silver and gold flowers. This art was perfected in the Victorian era. The tortoiseshell was heated and the metals pressed in and allowed to cool under light pressure. These earrings are in fantastic condition and look stunning on the ear.

Ollys Pick

Tortoiseshell is a lost art today – only basic inlay can be done
