Victorian Gold & Silver Drop Flower Earrings set with Natural Split Pearls & Turquoise

673W
160 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

Botanical jewellery was very popular in the early Victorian period and these earrings are a good example. The flowers and leaves have been set with turquoise and there are small split pearls in the centre. The use of the turquoise sent a secret message to the receiver to “Forget me not” after the flower of the same name. They were made circa 1840.

Ollys Pick

I was so pleased to find an original pair of early Victorian turquoise earrings.
