People often expect Victorian jewelry to be “dainty”, but jewelry needed scale and drama to hold its own against all the elaborate fabrics, big updo’s, fringe, and frippery of the era. These power-baubles measure 2.25” long, and definitely get noticed! They boast breathtakingly rich color, fine engraving, black enamel detail, full articulation, and all the tiny elegant dangles you could hope for. 14kyg, ca.1880.
