Victorian Acorn Drop Gold Earrings

740/OJ
881 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

These 15ct gold acorn earrings are rare in good condition. So often they are dented and the gilding is worn. Victorian pieces were gilded over the gold to achieve a beautiful soft and mellow colour, rather like present day Lalounis pieces. It is very hard to copy this gild nowadays as they used to use mercury in the process, which is not permitted now. These earrings are true English earrings as they refer to the English oak, the symbol of England.
