Early-Victorian Hand-Painted Earrings

Circa 1840. Crafted in 15KT gold, these exquisite Victorian earrings feature hand-painted enamel portraits of elegantly dressed women in period attire. Each earring showcases a different figure in full-length detail, rendered with remarkable artistry and vibrant color. The portrait plaques are bezel-set within softly curved gold frames and suspended from simple shepherd’s hook ear wires. These earrings are a rare example of wearable miniature portraiture—combining fine craftsmanship, charming subject matter, and historical allure. A true collector’s piece for those who appreciate Victorian sentimentality and artistry.
