$2,795.00
These Victorian Pique Tortoise Shell And Paua Shell Tear Drop Earrings are a unique example of antique craftsmanship.
These Victorian pique tortoiseshell and paua shell tear drop earrings are a beautiful fusion of natural materials and intricate craftsmanship. Pique, a technique that involves inlaying gold, silver or other materials into tortoiseshell, was popular during the Victorian era for its ability to enhance the rich, warm tones of the shell with delicate metalwork.
The teardrop-shaped earrings are further embellished with stunning floral designs, combining the glossy, tortoise shell with finely detailed paua shell inlays that form graceful, nature-inspired motifs. Paua shell, with its shimmering range of blues, greens, and purples, adds a vibrant contrast to the warm, earthy tones of the tortoiseshell, creating an elegant and eye-catching effect.
The combination of these materials and the detailed floral design makes these earrings a timeless example of Victorian jewellery, showcasing both the era’s love of nature and its refined artisanal techniques.
