Victorian Etruscan Revival Yellow Gold Dome Antique Earrings
Circa 1880

Antique Victorian Etruscan Revival drop earrings crafted in 14K yellow gold. Inspired by ancient Etruscan jewelry uncovered during 19th-century archaeological excavations, Etruscan Revival became an important jewelry style during the Victorian era, bringing ancient goldworking techniques and motifs back into fashion. Each earring features a circular medallion centered with a raised gold dome, surrounded by fine beaded detailing and floral motifs worked into the gold. Scrollwork along the top adds another distinctly Revival-era detail. Despite their detailed appearance, the earrings have a delicate scale and are easy to wear, making them a great way to bring a true piece of Victorian design into an everyday jewelry collection.
