Victorian 15ct Gold Earrings with Grapes Motif in Original Case

290W
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual pair of 15ct gold earrings that were made circa 1860-1880. They are composed of bunches of grapes above crescents. There is much attention to detail with applied rope work on the crescents and the vine leaves have engraved detail. Grapes traditionally mean abundance, fertility and good luck, and the crescent is the start of a relationship, so perhaps these earrings were a wedding gift.

They come in their original forrest green Moroccan leather case with a cream silk and burgundy red velvet interior.
