These solid gold artist's palette earrings from the 19th century are a rare find! Each stud is beautifully detailed with two brushes, a Mahl stick and a string of ivy leaves, as well as a tiny deep pink old-cut ruby. The leaves may seem an odd addition to a palette but any Victorian would have been aware of their meaning as a symbol of enduring love - whether romantic or platonic.

PLEASE NOTE! All items are vintage or antique and as such show light general wear appropriate to their age. Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing - and do ask if you have any questions!
