There is nothing like antique pique jewellery, and here are a magnificent pair of antique pique earrings that are inlaid with paua shell making these earrings even more unique and special.
Dating from the late Victorian period of the 1890s, each earring measures 4.7cm in length and are fitted with 18 carat gold shepherd hooks.
The detail in each of the earrings is just incredible, and it is a testament to the jewellers of this era in what they could produce.
With the lovely chocolate-brown of the tortoiseshell highlighted with the gold work and of course the reflective qualities of the paua shell, these earrings are destined to always be noticed and admired each time that they are worn.
