These 14k gold drop earrings consist of two orb shapes, which are each decorated with an intricate floral pattern. Their design was quite popular in the mid 19th-Century, with their hollow casts making them very comfortable to wear. Over time, the fact that they are hollow meant that a lot of these earrings were damaged, and therefore it is rare to find a pair that is still in good condition.
