This fun pair of Mid-Century Victorian/Greek revival earrings have the quirkiest motif: a crisp collar with a lavish bow that morphs into an exaggerated Greek key. Embedded with seed pearls, and made of both 18 and 14 karat gold, they make a playful statement with their tongue-in-cheek reference to the old fashioned starched collar. They may have been part of a cardigan chain pin pair, as both earrings have pins on the reverse. They have French hooks to wear at the ear, which makes for a uniquely versatile set!
