Victorian 18ct Gold & Moss Agate Drop Earrings

559S
480 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A wonderful pair of 18ct gold pear shaped drop earrings that were made circa 1860. They have each been set with moss agate. Moss agate is known as a semi precious gemstone. It is a form of chalcedony, which includes minerals that are green in colour embedded in the stone. Despite its name, moss agate doesn’t actually contain any organic matter, it is just the way it looks. In the Georgian and Victorian periods it was a particular favourite for use in jewellery. These earrings are a beautiful and will match many outfits.
