Antique Revival Kinetic Gold & Turquoise Earrings, ca 1875
Our Notes
Rendered in 14k gold, these Victorian kinetic drop earrings feature quatrefoil floral surmounts set with vibrant turquoise cabochons. Below a small intermediate trefoil link, a ribbed wire bar suspends four concentric, free-swinging gold hoops. Each slender ring is collet-set with staggered turquoise stones, creating a floating, planetary arrangement that sways with movement.
The design combines traditional 19th-century turquoise ornamentation with unusual geometric movement. The openwork hoop construction creates dramatic visual volume while remaining remarkably light on the ear. Preserved with gold earwires, the pair offers a striking, dynamic silhouette with continuous movement and rich color contrast.

- Remove jewelry when applying lotions, soaps and perfume
- Remove jewelry before immersing hands in cleaning solvents or liquids
- Please note that oxidation may eventually wear off of rings, then return naturally
