HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Your Antique Coral & Cameo Connection - Free Shipping - Layaway Available
These Italian made earrings are hand carved from fine Mediterranean coral. The craftsmanship is amazing with each piece is individually wired 14K yellow gold wires and there are NO pieces missing!! They are currently screw backs but we would be happy to retrofit them with pierced ear wires or posts. Email for pricing information.
They are designed with thick 8.5mm button cabochons attached to the screw backs and from this piece freely dangles the bottom section with intricately carved leaves and berries throughout. They could even be retrofitted so that they are day and night earrings with the cabochon buttons for wear during the day and the floral lower piece added for night. All is in gorgeous condition and these beauties are ready to wear.
The earrings are crafted from fine deep salmon (Sciacca) coral and solid 14K gold. From the 1860's, they are a good example of the fine Italian craftsmanship that is prominent in Italian coral jewelry. You will not be losing flowers or leaves that have been attached with glue or prongs. This is why these earrings are in mint condition with no losses of gold or coral whatsoever.
The total drop is 1 3/4" of the finest coral known to man. They are 13/16" wide at their widest point. The combined weight is 7.1 grams.
Mix and match with a great coral bead necklace, pendant, brooch, bracelet and/or ring. Pictured with a great carved coral night and day pendant, our item RL-00660, that item has already sold, but we would be glad to find the perfect matching item for you. We have a large inventory of coral jewelry in stock but not yet listed. Email us your wish list!
History relates that during the reign of Queen Victoria, in England, which lasted from 1837 to 1901, (known as the Victorian era) the language of flowers was as important to people as being "well dressed." Flowers adorned almost everything… hair, clothing, jewelry, gowns, men’s lapels, home décor and china, and stationery, to name a few. A young man could either please or displease a lady…by his gift of flowers. Flowers would convey messages of love and had a silent meaning of their very own, and could "say" what was not dared to be spoken. Floral symbolism in Victorian jewelry was widely used and greatly loved, as it still is today.
