These Victorian 9ct Yellow Gold Scalloped Hollow Teardrop Earrings are a unique piece of jewellery history, perfect to wear with any outfit!
These Victorian 9ct Yellow Gold Scalloped Hollow Teardrop Earrings are a stunning example of the intricate and bold design language characteristic of the late 19th century. The earrings feature a unique structure, beginning with a faceted ball at the top that catches the light with every movement, adding a soft, radiant sparkle.
From the ball, the design drops into a hollow, scalloped teardrop shape that tapers elegantly, offering a sense of movement and fluidity. At the centre of the teardrop, a smaller, dangling drop sways gently with the wearer’s motions, creating an added dimension to the piece.
The scalloped edges of the teardrop give the earrings a textured, almost lace-like appearance, and the hollow design adds a sense of lightness, despite their bold presence. This beautiful play of form and texture is a hallmark of Victorian design, where jewellery often combined both decorative beauty and intricate craftsmanship.
Made during the Victorian era (1837–1901), these earrings embody the opulence and attention to detail that were central to the period’s jewellery design. The intricate yet fluid design of these earrings reflects the era’s appreciation for elegance and the desire to create jewellery that was both artistic and wearable. These earrings would have been considered a statement piece, likely worn for formal occasions or special events, and they continue to capture the timeless beauty and romantic spirit of the Victorian era.
