Victorian Kinetic Blue Pendulum Enamel Earrings

A fantastic pair of Victorian earrings, modeled in 14k rosy yellow gold, whose pendulum drops swing back and forth inside arrow-like "frames," hand-pierced from gold sheet. Our pendulums are decorated with vibrant, robin's egg blue enamel, and they are incised with polished Etruscan curls and swags. These playful, swinging elements drop from the earring's enameled button tops, which are each incised with a four petaled flower. These earrings are bold and graphic, and surprisingly lightweight. They hang beautifully, and we love the idea of a pendulum, as it relates to way-finding, divination and dowsing! Ear wires are long French hooks. 

The earrings' button tops have some enamel darkening and loss, but retain most of the original blue. The pendulum's enamel is perfect, and condition is great, overall.
