A Touch of Victorian Romance — Antique 14ct White Gold Pearl and Diamond earrings.

These exquisite late Victorian-era earrings are a delicate echo of nature’s eternal motifs, rendered in precious materials that were beloved during the golden age of sentiment and symbolism in jewelry. Crafted in luminous 14ct white gold, each earring is designed as a compact floral rosette, radiating refined beauty and subtle opulence.

At the heart of each earring lies a sparkling floral bud—a raised, textured center flush-set with four tiny, old-cut diamonds. These early diamond cuts catch and scatter light in a romantic, candlelit glimmer, a hallmark of 19th-century craftsmanship. Surrounding each diamond center are six perfectly spaced half marine-cultured seed pearls, each nestled like dewdrops on petals. The pearls gently curve outward, forming a full bloom—elegant and serene in their creamy luster.

Universally, flowers symbolize beauty, life, and renewal. In Victorian times, each flower conveyed a secret meaning—this six-petal floral form subtly evokes the daisy, a symbol of innocence, loyal love, and the constancy of the soul.

The circular shape of the earrings and the symmetrical layout of the pearls emphasize unity, wholeness, and the cycle of life. In Victorian design, such symbolism often served as a reminder of the eternal connection between loved ones, even across time and space.

Each earring is suspended from a finely curved hinged shepherd’s hook with added safety latches for secure, worry-free wear—testament to the attention to detail and quality in these pieces.

Measurements :Each earring measures 1.3cm in diameter excluding the shepherds hooks.Each pearl measures 3.30mm in diameter.The small diamonds each measure approx 1mm in diameter.The earrings with a combined weight of 6.2grams.
