Victorian Faceted Coral Drop Day and Night Earrings

Versatility is always a plus, and these sassy, swinging Victorian earrings (circa mid-to-late 19th century) fit the bill quite nicely. In these fun and festive earbobs, pretty mango-colored faceted coral drops (by way of the crystalline Mediterranean Ocean of yesteryear), topped by decorative bright gold cones, dance beneath matching faceted coral cabochons in scalloped settings, accented with hand engraved graphic designs and openwork scrolls. In the mood for a little less motion? Remove the drops and you have an equally beautiful, slightly less swingy, pair of jewels. Hand engraved and hand fabricated in 14K gold, they measure 1/2 inch by 1 5/8 inches (removable dangle is 1 1/2 inches). Condition Note: Bottom coral dangles shows some wear, cracks and breaks, commensurate with age.
