Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Dormeuse Earrings

Victorian Etruscan Revival earrings crafted in 15K yellow gold, circa 1860. Designed in the dormeuse (“sleeper”) back-to-front style, these convertible day-to-night earrings display intricate granulation and wirework throughout the tapered drops. Applied rosettes and coiled gold tendrils add rich texture and depth, showcasing the refined handwork of mid-19th-century goldsmithing.

Etruscan Revival jewelry emerged during the Victorian fascination with ancient art, inspired by archaeological discoveries in Italy. These earrings embody that influence through precise granulated detail and sculptural design, preserving the spirit of classical goldwork in wearable form.
