Description

An elegant and supremely wearable pair of late Victorian earrings; beautifully modelled with hand-carved drops of chrysoprase to dome cabochon tops, all set in buttery yellow gold. The chrysoprase is a stunning shade of translucent forest green that can carry you through both summer and winter dressing.

The ‘torpedo’ style of earring is defined by a long elegant drop and usually of simple lines. First popularised in the Georgian era, it’s become an iconic style of earring and every antique jewellery collection should have at least one pair!

ERA: Late Victorian c1890s

MATERIAL: Chrysoprase and yellow gold (unhallmarked but tested)

SIZE: 3.75cm total drop (from top of hook to base of chrysoprase). Lower chrysoprase measures 2cm long. A really elegant length on most ladies.

WEIGHT: 3.3grams

CONDITION: Beautiful antique condition – gold work is secure and well made with nice thickness to the wires. Stones are in beautiful condition with no chips or cracks. I’ve had my jeweller look these over to check the stones and give them a light clean and polish so they’re ready to wear!
