Antique bog oak and pearl drop earrings made in the 1860’s
There earrings were made in the 1860's and have such a fantastic and very unique look to them that will make them always be admired and such a wonderful talking point.
The earrings are made out of bog oak which is similar to Whitby Jet in that both are the result of fossilization of trees. Whereas Whitby Jet comes from the Araucaria tree primarily around the town of Whitby in the UK, bog oak comes from Ireland and is not a specific species of tree, rather it is a term that designates oak that has been buried in a peat bog. The process for the formation of both bog oak and Whitby Jet takes hundreds to thousands of years to form and is unlike any other material used in jewellery and both have a wonderful dark black colouring as well as a fantastic texture to touch.
Each earring measures 44.2mm in length from the bottom to the top of the shepherd hook, by 15.1mm across and have a fabulous pierce work affect which is highlighted by a white pearl set into each one.
As unique as they are beautiful, these earrings are a wonderful look at mid-Victorian jewellery that is as fashionable today as when they were made.

Magnificent antique gold cased earrings from the Victorian era
Here are a fabulous pair of antique gold cased drop earrings that date from the Victorian era and looks spectacular on the ear and will no doubt always be admired every single time that they are worn.
Gold cased jewellery is also known as rolled gold and was first invented in Birmingham England in 1785 and was the process of having a a thick sheet of gold that was then soldered to a sheet of brass then rolled out to a thin sheet that was subsequently used for making jewellery. Being very hard wearing and durable allowed it to also be engraved and this process should not be confused with gold plating which although it can be very built up in thick layers, is not as hard wearing as gold filled.
These earrings measure 19.4mm across at the lower section by 48.8mm to the top of the shepherd hooks, and the inside sections are not only of a facetted design, but are also able to move independently from the outer section adding to the allure and charm of them.
With such an incredible design to them, these earrings will be suitable for any occasion day or night and always be loved and admired.
