RARE FIND ! These antique Edwardian-era 9ct rose gold and caramel brown Bakelite torpedo drop earrings are a rare and stunning find that perfectly embody the elegance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century jewelry.

Dating back to the Edwardian era (circa 1901–1915), these earrings showcase the torpedo drop style, which was highly fashionable during this period.
The teardrop-shaped drops are crafted from caramel brown Bakelite, an early form of plastic that was invented in 1907 and became widely used in jewelry from the 1910s to the 1930s.

The Bakelite drops are suspended from delicate 9ct rose gold chains and fitted with 9ct rose gold shepherd's hooks, adding warmth and luxury to the design.

The caramel brown Bakelite exhibits a rich, warm tone that resembles natural materials like amber or horn. Over time, Bakelite develops a beautiful patina, making antique pieces like these even more desirable.

The elongated, tapering design is a classic torpedo silhouette, emphasizing length and elegance, which was especially popular in Edwardian and Art Nouveau jewelry.

The torpedo earring design became fashionable in the late Victorian era (circa 1880s–1900s) and reached peak popularity in the Edwardian and Art Nouveau periods (1901–1915).

These earrings were often made from rock crystal, glass, jet, or early plastics such as Bakelite or Galalith.

The delicate chains and elongated drops were meant to sway gently, catching light beautifully and complementing the graceful, flowing designs of the Edwardian and Art Nouveau fashions.

These earrings are a collector’s dream, blending early Bakelite innovation with timeless Edwardian elegance, making them a true wearable piece of history.
