Victorian Revival Garnet Earrings

A pretty pair of earrings from the mid to late 20th Century, c1970s, made in the style of an original Victorian pair. There was a fashion during this period to revive Victorian styles and these are a lovely example. The earrings are made from 9ct gold and the oval puffy frames have a hollow construction. They have been pressed with a pretty floral design, very reminiscent of Victorian style, and have lovely pear shaped cabochon garnet drops hanging in the centre. A lovely lightweight pair of earrings that look beautiful in the ear.
