Faceted jet hoops drop from a taille d'épargne adorned button in these gorgeous Victorian hanging earrings! Jet is a remarkable gem carved from a mineraloid that forms from decomposed wood pressurized over millions of years! It was most en vogue in the 1860s alongside taille d'épargne enameling and other black jewelry elements when mourning jewelry was at the height of its popularity. This stunning pair of earrings is exemplary of the fashion, featuring both the unique allure of taille d'épargne enameling inlaid in dynamically textured gold as well as deep-black jet hoops that dangle with a single gold bead playfully hanging in each. Their elegant movement and exquisite details ensure they will never go out of style!
