Edwardian 18ct Gold Rock Crystal Pools of Light Orb Earrings with Ruby set Terminals

314Y
352 Admirers

“Pools of light” crystal orbs were very popular in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. When you place a crystal orb on top of something, instead of looking through it, the light going into the orb from its surroundings still experiences that same lens-based refractive effect and so the light that comes out is diffused but it is also somewhat focused. Thus, a “pool of light” appears on whatever surface is immediately adjacent to the orb.

These crystal orbs are caged in 18ct gold wire with a rub over set ruby at the base of each one.

Perfect for every day wear.
