Earrings

You can picture it, can’t you? The beautiful Scottish girl, her long auburn hair falling in curls behind her, she’s dressed for the dance, the plaid of her family is draped across her shoulder, the overlapping tartan of gray and red pinned with a large brooch in the shape of an ivy leaf and set with polished granite. This girl with the hair is smiling and her face lights up the room, she will dance with all of the bonnie, braw lads tonight, and she will love every minute, you can just tell. These are her earrings.

Set with pink and gray granite, these Scottish pebble earrings just made my heart go pitter-patter when I came across them at a stall in Ardingly. So many things these days are made over from something else into earrings, but true earrings, one’s that were made that way, will be opposites, just like these wonderful ivy leaves, their tips curling into one another, their sweet sentiment echoing on the air, ‘I cling to thee…’.

These earrings measure 28 mm top to bottom and 16.2 mm across, they are unmarked but have been acid tested to verify them as sterling silver. The Victorian beauties were hand made in either Scotland or (more likely), England in about 1880. The stones are original and beautifully flush, they have no notable chips or cracks. Together these earrings weigh 3.3 grams.

“Her look was like the morning’s eye, Her air like Nature’s vernal smile; Perfection whispered, passing by, Behold the lass o’ Ballochmyle!” ~ Robert Burns

A classic pair of Silver earrings just like these would have been ‘de rigueur’ day-wear for the Victorian lady. Silver bangles, collars, lockets, brooches and earrings were produced in every imaginable design for the burgeoning middle classes of Victorian England. Nicer (read, more expensive) versions were done with gold accents in yellow and rose and the very best were crafted in all gold.

This beautiful handcrafted pair of earrings were made around 1890, they showcase a fern leaf design in gold wash at the center of an elaborately embellished circle of silver. This pair of earrings is unmarked but have been tested as sterling. The earrings measure 30 mm from the top of the wires and 16 mm across, together they weigh 2.1 grams.

Scottish inspired jewels made their way through Victorian English society like wildfire once Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, purchased Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands in 1852. At first locally made jewels were purchased by the hoards of people who followed the Royal Court to the far northern reaches of their country, but after awhile those jewels were gone and so jewelers in England began to recreate these jewels, often in very fanciful and un-Scottish motifs. They used colorful stones like agate, bloodstone, carnelian and granites native to Scotland, and shipped their wares north to Scotland to be bought up by the tourists.

These wonderful earrings are an example of Scottish jewelry that was likely made in England, they are set with lovely pink and gray Scottish agate and are fully hand crafted in sterling silver. These lovelies were made around 1890, they measure 43 mm top to bottom and 13.7 mm across and they weigh 3 grams.

Renaissance Revival jewelry was en vogue during the 1800s all across Europe. Austria-Hungary established itself as a maker of quality jewelry during this time, as the pieces were not only detailed and beautiful on the front, but oftentimes equally detailed and ornate on the back. Workshops in Austria-Hungary crafted the majority of these Renaissance and Gothic Revival pieces between 1860 and 1910. Oftentimes, these pieces were made in silver and then gilded in gold. These beryl and pearl earrings are no exception as they were made around 1880 in Austria-Hungary, during the Victorian Era in silver gilt.

Sometimes when I arrive at the stall of one of my fabulous vendors there might already be someone else there working with them. I try to be patient, it’s not usually that hard, I just drink my coffee and peruse the cases, making a mental list of the things I want to see when it’s my turn. Sometimes, though, I get a bit anxious, because the person who was there before me is hemming and hawing over a piece that I know without a doubt that I want for myself. Such was the case with these earrings. I tried very hard not to stare as she held them up to the light and watched them sparkle and shine, but it was pretty much impossible, I was mesmerized. When she gave them back, thanked my friend and said ‘I’ll think about it’ as she walked away my heart just danced a little jig. ‘Oh yes’, I thought, ‘you will be mine!’.

She heard his motorcycle stop around the corner of the café from where she sat. She could tell something interesting was happening when all the women on the terrace stood up straighter and the men widened their stances. She continued sipping her coffee and reading the paper. The scent of cedar and sugar lingered as he passed by her. Her eyes moved from her paper and into his ocean blue eyes, just for a glimpse. They were bordered by dark brows and handsome features. She didn’t smile, straighten or stare, she just observed. He paused and said, “Nice earrings,” before continuing on his way through to wherever he was going.

They were her sister’s earrings until she borrowed them for a wedding last summer. She conveniently forgot to give them back over the holidays; and she just happened to forget her own earrings for the New Year’s Eve party. Thank goodness her sister said she could borrow them for one more night, which might accidentally have turned into another two months. She secretly hopes her sister forgets all about them. She’d like to wear them all the time. She likes the way they glitter, how they go with all her favorite things.

These antique Georgian flat cut diamond earrings were handcrafted in England around 1830. There are 24 rose cut diamonds decorating these leaf-shaped drop earrings. They have been acid tested, the hooks are 18 karat gold while the backs are 15 karat gold. They bear no marks. Each earring measures 33 x 15.3 mm and together they weigh 5.4 grams.

Please note that while the majority of these earrings are Georgian, they may not have started life out as earrings. It seems to me that at some point they may have been made from an old Georgian piece of jewelry, so the connection points and ear wires are probably not original while the diamond parts are. It seems that this was done some time ago and the resultant earrings are extremely lovely. It may also be that they were always earrings but were re-wired at some point as the wires often did get bent and broken.

Morning, noon, and night, a pair of earrings like these need to see all hours of the day. And you have just the ears to do it!

Snowflakes shaped like tiny glittering stars stuck to the pebbled carriageway that was made for horses, currently holding ladies and gentlemen. She almost looked like all the rest, with their flawlessly powered faces and up-dos, and yet there was something else about her. It was a thrilling night, with golden candlelight, wine in tall glasses, and ballroom dancers. A fervor hung in the air and ladies fanned themselves as the men stepped outside into the fresh winter breeze. Some say it was her graceful dance steps that caught his attention. Others say it was the way she laughed at his anecdotes, how her eyes crinkled in delight. I say it was the earrings dangling from her ears, the way they shed golden specks of light onto her freckled cheeks. No one can help being transfixed by a pair of golden earrings like these. Not even a prince.

There’s something to be said about a woman’s intuition - that it’s always right. Mine sent me into the stall of an antiques dealer at Ardingly in England last spring. That’s where I found these. They weren’t in an obvious place by any means – sitting in a red box beneath a silver beaded flapper dress draped over a chair. I opened that box and my jaw fell to the packed earth floor. The owner said he didn’t recognize theme. I said, “I’ll give you cash.”

Around 400 BC, a Greek philosopher, named Theophrastus, was wandering along the Achates river, in present day Sicily. He discovered a large deposit of beautiful banded stones that he named after the waters it was uncovered in. He called it, “Akhatēs”, which has been translated over time and language into, “agate”. It has been in use for much longer than its name, as the stone has been found at ancient sites that date beyond the Bronze Age, all over the world.

These beautiful antique Victorian banded agate drop earrings were handcrafted in England around 1870. They feature four banded agates, all cabochon cut and set in 15 karat gold. Each earring boasts a round agate at the top and an oval agate at the drop. Each earring measures 32 x 12 mm and together they weigh 4.4 grams. They bear no marks and have been acid tested.

In the mid-1800s it was all the rage to have agates carved into cabochons, creating banded stones with color block. These were set into pendants, earrings, rings, you name it. Mourning periods required that a lady dress in only black with a bit of white. These earrings could have been worn throughout the mourning period, in memory of a loved one.

Ivy clings, it grows along walls, over stones, up trees, and inches toward the sky, forming a unity with its sturdy base. Jewelry with an ivy motif was given as a representation of fidelity, friendship and eternity during the 1800s. In Britain, ivy was called, “lovestone”, named for the way it clung to stone walls.

These antique French ivy leaf gold earrings were handcrafted around 1890 in 18 karat gold. Each drop earring features a round creamy white pearl at the top with a long drop link chain that leads to an ivy leaf shaped drop dotted with another round pearl. A rose cut diamond can be found at the very top of each earring, adding glimmer to an elegant pair of earrings. Each earring measures 42 x 11 mm and together they weigh 2.1 grams. They bear the eagle head hallmark, indicating they are made in 18 karat gold and they were essayed in Paris.

These earrings have a back to front closure which works just as it sounds. The earring goes through the ear from behind and clips in the front. They are extremely comfortable to wear, but it can take a little time getting used to putting them on. The key is to wiggle the earring instead of trying to just push it through. Don't be surprised if you get hooked on this style of closure once you get used to it!

Not everything in the Victorian era had a secret message or symbolic meaning. There were some unexpected designs during the 19th century that ladies decided to wear simply because they liked them. The 1860s led to an explosion of daytime earring trends, as the fashion was now to have the hair up and behind the ears, exposing a perfect space for dangling jewels. Designers had a field day handcrafting tiny tambourines, oil lamps, pea pods, cherries, yachts, and of course, baskets of fish, for ladies to don.

These antique Victorian fish basket, or creel, earrings were handcrafted around 1890 in silver. They feature a fun motif of fish tails sticking out of baskets, as though someone just pulled them from the water! This adorable pair weighs 5.1 grams. Each earring measures 30 x 16.6 mm. They bear no marks and have been acid tested.

Not just for daytime wear anymore, these adorable Victorian earrings can be worn late into the night with jeans, heals, and a glass of wine.

There were strict rules when it came to mourning in the latter half of the 19th century, when these fabulous earrings were made. A widow would wear mourning black for two years, after which she could go into half mourning and introduce a bit of gray, lavender and lilac. A pair of earrings as stylish as these were perfect for the lady in mourning and were stylish enough to be worn long after the mourning period ended.

Jet, a dark brown-black coal formed from fossilized wood from the Jurassic Period, has been used for thousands of years to craft all types of jewelry as well as personal objects.
