A pair of late Victorian Indian earrings — natural pearls clustered into a domed rosette, with red paste accents below and natural pearl drops suspended on fine gold links.
The combination of natural pearls, paste stones, and gold over silver is characteristic of fine Indian jewelry of the period, where paste was used not as substitute but as a jeweling material in its own right, prized for its color and depth.
Originally on hooks, the earrings have been carefully remodeled to posts — significantly more comfortable for everyday wear, with the original face entirely preserved.
