Vintage 1940s 18 Karat Gold Dangle Earrings

The mighty oak grows from the lowly acorn, reminding us that great things often have humble beginnings. The oak leaf and acorn often show up as motifs in jewelry from the Victorian times, as evidenced by these lovely sterling silver earrings.

These wonderful silver earrings feature beautifully detailed oak leaves and acorns; they are repousséd, wonderfully weighty and fully articulated. These earrings measure 38 mm north to south from the top of the wire and are 13 mm across. Together they weigh 6.6 grams. Hand crafted in the Victorian era, they are unmarked and have been teased for metal content, circa 1880-1890.

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!
