What makes them truly extraordinary is their origin — these earrings are a masterful example of Victorian-era repurposing, assembled by a skilled hand from various pieces of similar period jewellery into a single, cohesive and entirely wearable pair. Long before the term \"upcycling\" existed, Victorian jewellers and their discerning clients thought nothing of reimagining heirloom pieces to suit changing fashions — and the result here is a composition of remarkable character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach earring descends gracefully from a fine 14ct rose gold hook wire, suspending a trefoil cluster of deep blue sapphires, set in warm gold collets that frame each stone beautifully. Below, the drop transitions into sterling silver — a hallmark of late Victorian jewellery's characteristic two-tone construction — where a diamond-set tapering pennant form takes centre stage. Old mine-cut diamonds, arranged in ascending size toward the apex, catch the light with the soft, romantic fire characteristic of antique-cut stones. A small horizontal diamond-set bar interrupts the descent before a final diamond element leads the eye downward to the most feminine of finishes: a lustrous, creamy natural pearl drop that sways gently with every movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sapphire Weight: 1.20ct\u003cbr\u003eTotal Diamond Weight: 1.20ct\u003cbr\u003eColour: H-K\u003cbr\u003eClarity: VS-I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarring Length: Approx 35mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an estate item and comes with a one year guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44370582700120,"sku":"013-01747","price":5146.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1319\/9109\/files\/013-01747_VINTAGE_SP.jpg?v=1783913378","url":"https:\/\/walkerandhall.com\/products\/vintage-14ct-silver-sapphire-diamond-drop-earrings","provider":"Walker \u0026 Hall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
