A gorgeous pair of mid-Victorian silver, 9 carat gold gilded earrings, with hook fittings. These consist of two sections and are articulated so that they move when worn.
Beautifully made in the Etruscan revival style, they have a full hallmark for silver gilt. The gilding is in excellent condition giving them the look of high carat gold but without the price. 
They are in good antique condition and would be lovely for evening wear.
