A beautiful pair of earrings from the Victorian period. The earrings are lovely samples of tortoiseshell with pretty floral pique details set within. The pique pattern is all over the front with silver and gold details and follows around the side for a wraparound look. They are plain to the back and have 9ct gold fittings and shepherds hooks. An elegant look for your ears and the beauty of tortoiseshell is that it is fairly lightweight.
