A rare pair of Victorian earrings in a deep coral-coloured early plastic, likely celluloid or xylonite. Beautifully designed with realistic acorns and leaves which have a lovely level of detail. The ear wires test as sterling silver. The earrings come with the matching brooch pictured.
• Condition: The earrings are in amazing condition considering their age, these finely detailed early plastic items rarely survive in one piece; when seen from the back each earring is missing a piece which would have hung down behind. The brooch has quite a lot of damage to the leaves, see photos, although can still be worn as a lovely piece.
• Fixing: Ear wires. Supplied with tiny plastic "keepers" for additional security. The brooch has a simple C clasp.
• Era: Victorian, 19th century.
• Size: The earrings measure approx 3cm total drop from the top of the ear wires x 1.5cm wide. The brooch is 3 x 4.1cm diameter.
• Weight: 5.9g.
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!
