About the Item
14K Gold Victorian Pique Geometric Dangle Earrings, circa 1880
These elegant Victorian pique drop earrings are inlaid with gold in a beautiful geometric design. Suspended from an oval top an elongated pyramid drop dangles creating a dramatic warm toned earring. Pique a technique of inlaying precious metals into tortoiseshell, was brought to England by the Huguenots when they were expelled from France in the 17th Century. Pique, meaning "pierce", refers to the process of inlaying gold and silver into heated tortoiseshell to make beautiful floral and leaf patterns, as well as geometric designs. It reached its zenith during the reign of Queen Victoria. It is a process and art form that has been lost today so a matching pair of earrings from this time period is a rare find.
Each earring is suspended from a 14 karat gold Euro wire. They measure 2 1/2” from the top of the oval to the bottom point of the pyramid and 5/8” at the widest part. They are inlaid with 14 karat gold floral design and a border of a repeating motif. There is no damage to the pique gold inlay. They are in excellent condition, and are a a stunning example of this technique. Total weight 8.5 grams
