VICTORIAN 1880 Industrialism Dangle Earrings In 14Kt Gold With Agate & Diamonds

Victorian industrialism dangle earrings with a agate

This is an industrial-shaped pair of dangle earrings created in England during the late Victorian period, between the 1870 and 1880. The unusual earrings have been crafted with a mechanical machine look in solid gold of 14 karats with polished finish and embellished with applications of black enamel. They are mounted in the center with two natural earth mined white agates, accented by rectangular bars elements, which are set with twenty-six rose cuts diamonds. The earrings are fitted at the reverse with French hook-wires for pierced ears.

Industrial look jewelry

Industrialism-inspired jewelry often features geometric shapes, cylindrical elements, and rivet-like details, evoking the aesthetics of industrial machinery and the Second Industrial Revolution. This design style can be seen in pieces like bars, barbells, and chains for piercings, as well as in other jewelry like necklaces, rings, and cuffs. The industrial revolution refers to the mechanization of work processes that took place mainly in the 19th century. This had a great influence on the fabrication of jewelry and silverware. Items with a homogeneous appearance could easily be made in large numbers, especially sheet metal which could be worked very rapidly.
