Victorian Mixed Pearl Earrings

Pair of freshwater pearl earrings, coloured in soft pastels with cubic zirconia and spacer beads and finished with hooks. Pearls held a special place in mourning jewellery, their soft, subdued lustre considered appropriately restrained for the strict etiquette of Victorian bereavement, while their long-standing symbolism of purity and innocence made them equally suited to more joyful occasions, from christenings to weddings. Light and versatile, these earrings would have transitioned easily between the sombre and the celebratory, much as they do today. A pretty, wearable gift for any admirer of period jewellery.
