An Enchanting Pair of Original Victorian Long Diamond Ear Drops
Very Gorgeous!

Distinctive in Design and Beautifully Hand Made in the Best Victorian Craftsmanship of the Period
1870 ca

A Top Flower Head Followed by a Floret Motif Suspending the Above Bow Motif which Frames an Oval Cut Large Diamond
The Art Work is made of Four Sections Including the Bottom Diamond
Each Joined to the Other Making the Earrings Swinging Gorgeously
There are Tiny Rose Cut Diamonds all Finely Set Throughout
Larger Solitaire Diamonds are Table Cut and One is Slightly Larger than the Other
The Earrings are Solid 12 Kt Gold Topped in Silver for the Diamond's Housing
Back Still Have the Original Beautifully Made Screw Posts making Them Wearable on Non Pierced Ears

I Find Them Simply Divine and One of the Most Beautiful in Design

In Very Good Conditions Commensurate to the Age
