These round horn drop earrings are decorated with gold inlay, a technique known as piqué. This form of decoration was used for small luxury items such as snuff boxes and jewellery from the 18th Century onwards. 

Piqué was traditionally a French and Italian specialty. By the 1760s, the technique had spread to England, where it was mass-produced by Birmingham manufacturers from the 1870s onwards.
