These earrings from Victorian England bring the nostalgic magic of the past back to life. Queen Victoria's long reign saw various fashions in jewellery: In the middle years of the 19th century, for example, pieces featuring Persian turquoise were extremely popular - in England at the time, there was even talk of a veritable turquoise mania. The color of the gemstones reminded people of the flowers of a forget-me-not, which is why turquoise took on this literal meaning in the language of jewels and was often used for gifts of love. This pair of pretty earrings features small cabochons made from this special gemstone. The circular sides of the pendants are convex. Circles of twisted gold wire sit on the resulting dome, surrounding the turquoise with a little space between them. Another small dome with embedded turquoise also adorns the bail with which the pendants can be worn. The earrings, which were created in England around 1865, are light and comfortable to wear despite their size. We discovered the pair in Munich and were immediately impressed by their charming charisma.
