Day to Night Coral Earrings
Day to Night Coral Earrings
Antique jewelry loves a little secret. Maybe it’s a message engraved on the inside of the signet ring. The lock of woven hair nestled in a pendant. The enamel color’s secret meaning. The brooch pin’s hidden bail reaching out for a chain. And, sometimes the secret is a little more lighthearted. Those fabulous dangle earrings, well, that’s the nighttime version. The swinging dangle can take a rest, letting the smaller tops have their day.
These beautiful Victorian coral earrings have a day and night version, all in bright 14K yellow gold. A round carved Mediterranean red coral sits in a lever back short dangle earring. The night attachment has a smooth coral drop in a scalloped gold setting.
These earrings are in excellent antique condition. The day version measures ⅞” long. With the drop attachment, the full earrings measure 2 ⅜” long. They have stamps on the ear wire that we are not able to identify.
