Description

An elegant pair of original Victorian earrings; in the Aesthetic movement style featuring the AEI monogram beautifully pierced to a circular mount, and accented with hand engraved detailing.

The AEI monogram was popular during the Victorian period; being both Greek for ‘Forever’ as well as denoting friendship (Amite), Eternity, and Infinity. Eminently wearable today, they look great dressed up or down and would make a wonderful gift for any antique jewellery lover.
