Victorian 15ct Gold Earrings Set With Cabochon Garnets & Diamond Set Flies

88K
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual pair of Victorian 15ct gold earrings. They are set with four large cabochon garnets that have been foiled at the back to give them luminescence. A rose diamond set fly is mounted on the larger garnet of each earring. The flies each have tiny cabochon garnet eyes. There are seven articulated tassels hanging from the base of each earring. They were made circa 1860-1880 when garnets were all the rage.

Ollys Pick

These earrings are so hard to find and are rare nowadays.
