DATE: Victorian, c.1870

A fine pair of Etruscan Revival orb earrings, featuring the intricate applied granular goldwork typical of the style. They date from the 1870s, and are a particularly wearable example of the period - they can all too often be larger scale, bulkier pieces. Modelled in 15 karat gold and 1.8cm in diameter.
