Queen Victoria loved her Stuart history and loved Balmoral Castle, and as she was so influential in fashion and jewellery, it is not surprise that she made Scottish jewellery so popular.
These earrings date from the late Victorian era of the 1890's and were made in 9 carat rose gold. Each are set so with red jasper and bloodstone in such an attractive design that is complimented further by having a round cabochon cut bloodstone set at the top that leads to the shepherd hooks.
Each earring measures 13.6 across by 16.3 or 33.9mm in total from the bottom to the very top, and thanks to the wonderful colours in the earrings, they will be perfect to wear with any outfit.
