Portrait jewellery, featuring mini works of art, were one of the only ways to display and images of loved ones, important figures and other people of importance for the Victorians. These earrings, featuring finely famed hand-painted portraits of a Georgian-era lady on porcelain, are a very fine example of portrait jewellery.
The settings of these earrings are 9ct rose gold and the portraits themselves are attractively ‘light’ in tone and colour, as opposed to the dark-toned portraits that were popular during the time. We love the pink and green tones and the lady’s fabulous pearl and ruby necklace!
Details:
Porcelain and 9ct rose gold
There are marks on the ear wires but these are difficult to decipher
Weight and Size: 3.5 grams in total (both earrings)
Date: Circa 1890
Condition: Excellent antique condition, with no cracks or scratches. Just light surface wear.
