Victorian coral acorn earrings

The Victorians had a deep appreciation of nature.   Naturalist motifs were incorporated in to the Jewelry and Decorative arts of the era.    Symbolism was also important to the Victorians.

Here we have dual symbolism;  natural coral has been delicately carved into leaves and acorns.   Acorns from mighty oak trees were a symbol of strength,  endurance and long life.   Coral was worn as an amulet to protect the wearer from harm.

Exuding a refined elegance,  the earrings are 9kt. gold;  wires are back to front, ensuring that the earrings sit correctly when worn and do not fall forward.

Size:  1/2 inch wide by 1 and 1/4 inches long (not including wires)
