Elegant & Delicate 18K gold Victorian era Pansy flower dormeuse sleeper earrings

€0

For sale a lovely pair of antique French dormeuse sleeper earrings beautifully crafted with a drop of pansy flowers on each side. The elegant design of the scrolled ribbon across the earring is very typical to that era (circa 1850s).

We also love them for their warm & buttery gold color, layered structure and generous size which make them very eye-catching. They convey on them a much-appreciated feminine attention to details.

The name pansy comes from the French word "Penser", meaning “to think about someone/something.” This gives pansies as a gesture of friendship and platonic love. Since the Victorian era, pansies are wildly used in antique jewelry as a symbol of love. A pansy flower can be given as a subtle message to say " I miss you" or "I love you". This message behind the pansy flowers makes this pair of earrings very sentimental.

That’s why they will be a wonderful gift to offer or to receive!

They finish with the back to front closure for pierced earrings.
