These 12k gold Victorian earrings feature beautifully saturated amethysts with pear shaped drops dangling from round gems. The stones are set in rose gold, which makes a gorgeous contrast with the saturated purple. The stones are collet set—an older way of setting stones that is quite beautiful and delicate. They attach to a shepherd’s hook wire as their backs. The earrings have lovely movement to them and a graceful length.
The earrings are unmarked but acid test as 12k gold. In total, the earrings contain 5.2 carats of natural antique amethysts. The pear shaped stones measure 11.5 x 7.25 mm (2 carats each) and the round stones measure 5.7 mm (.6 carat each). The earrings measure 1 1/8” in length. Combined, they weigh 3.15 grams.
If you love antique jewelry, these earrings have a simple, elegant dangle with a romantic collet setting that is great for every day wear and looks pretty with any outfit.
