This pair of earrings was created in the Victorian era. It consists of two elongated drops and two pierced agate spheres, set in silver mountings. With its unusual material, the earrings make a special statement. Because similar to the inseparable affection of two lovers, the bands in the different shades of red that inseparably connect the individual layers of agate are also held together - come what may. The ancient author Pliny already interpreted this fascinating gemstone as a symbol of love and a sign of solidarity. The earrings originate from Great Britain and were created in the 1870s. At the time, jewellery of this type was considered typically Scottish - even though the agates most likely originated in Brazil and were probably cut in Germany.
