Early Victorian "Day-to-Night" Earrings
Gorgeous antique Day-to-Night earrings dating from the early Victorian period, circa 1850. Wonderfully intricate, the design incorporates both floral and foliate elements, all studded with old mine and rose cut diamonds, with articulated pear-shaped drops. Each top is detachable... so you can wear just the little daisy cluster part during the day, then add the long drops for some evening-wear extra. Built in 9ct gold and silver, they're likely Dutch, with later-added French import marks to the ear wires.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
