Victorian Coral Rose Earrings in 18ct Gold | Italian c.1880
POA
Description
A beautifully made pair of late 19th-century drop earrings, each set in 18 carat gold and featuring finely carved coral roses.
The coral is natural and richly toned, with each bloom individually hand-shaped to show depth and petal texture.
One rose sits at the lobe, with a second articulated drop suspended below, allowing subtle movement and light play.
The gold caps are shaped in a stylised leaf design, leading into elegant ear wires that retain their original form.
Made in Italy around 1880, likely in Naples - the heart of European coral carving - these earrings reflect the high craftsmanship of the era.
They are light, balanced, and full of detail, a rare surviving pair that’s both romantic and wearable.
Dimensions approx 3.5cm x 1cm
Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
