Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
Hearts, love knots, bows and flowers form the basis of the world of Victorian jewellery. This pair of earrings also features a whole compendium of romantic symbols: underneath each hoop is an elongated decorative element in the shape of a cute key with a heart-shaped beard. Underneath are two more proverbial hearts made of gold that catch the eye. Their surface is adorned with an appliquéd shamrock, which also symbolizes the happiness of love. A closer look reveals that these elements have not always adorned the same piece of jewelry: the hearts appear to be antique, while the keys were created more recently. Who or when put them together to form a harmonious piece of jewelry must remain a mystery. This probably happened in the last third of the 20th century, when Victorian jewellery - which was considered outdated and unsightly in the middle of the century - was once again highly valued. We were able to discover the earrings as they are in London.
