A pair of Victorian gold enameled earrings with natural pearls and rubies. England, 1850 c.a. 5.8 cm

 

Almost no earrings were worn in the 1840s as the hair completely covered the ears, those few wich were worn were usually long. They gradually regained favour in the 1850's when the hair started to be brushed away from the ears.
