Pair of Victorian marcasite and silver earrings

This is a very striking pair of earrings comprising numerous small stones mounted in low grade silver, termed marcasite jewellery, Both pieces are marked for silver and the floral and leaf design is very typical of the Victorian era when pieces in this style enjoyed great popularity and were favoured even by the monarch herself. Marcasite Jewellery is actually made from pyrite ('fool's gold'), a much cheaper substitute for true diamonds!

Weight: 17 grams
Date: 1900
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Some of the stones have been replaced
Estimate: £50 – 70
