Yellow gold serves as the backdrop for these nature inspired Victorian 15k earrings that date to the 1870s.

With appliques of green and rose gold, each earring showcases a bird in flight, a floating butterfly, and sinuous leaves and a flower. Hand engraving includes more botanicals of stems and leaves in graceful curving designs.

Round, the pie crust edges are rippled or scalloped. Atop is a sphere and shepherd’s hook ear wires.
