A wonderful antique pair of agate earrings from the Victorian era takes center stage here. Banded agates like these were particularly popular in the Victorian era - they were even ascribed a romantic significance. Similar to the inseparable affection of two lovers, the silvery-white, gray and brown-black layers of banded agates are inseparable - and stick together, come what may. Even the ancient author Pliny interpreted this fascinating semi-precious stone as a symbol of love. Pieces of jewelry with banded agates could therefore be gifts of everlasting friendship or expressions of indissoluble love and intimate closeness. Here we see two beautiful agate cabochons set in lightly gold-plated silver settings and flexibly mounted on simple ear hooks. A pretty pair from Queen Victoria's England - with a special, meaningful component!
