Her folding fan lay beside the theatre program, its painted flowers hidden between the pleats. At her ears, two smaller silver fans stayed open, their engraved blossoms part of the evening’s finery. She leaned toward her companion as the lights dimmed, saving her last remark for the moment just before the curtain rose.

Created around 1880, these Victorian silver drop earrings express the Japanese inspired taste of the Aesthetic period through floral engraving and charming fan forms. Measuring 41 millimeters long, 14.3 millimeters across and 5 millimeters deep overall, they offer a pleasing length with a combined weight of just 4.22 grams. They bear the marks “Std” and maker’s mark “S&S."

Small enough to feel intimate, distinctive enough to draw a second look, these are a lovely choice for someone who delights in the more artistic side of Victorian jewelry. Silver flowers and open fans, ready for another evening out.
