Golden Age Style Earrings in Sterling Silver  

Victorian and Gilded Era Designs with Natural Stones

The golden age of jewelry design spanned several overlapping periods: the Victorian era (1837-1901), the Gilded Age (1870s-1900), and the transitional years into Art Nouveau. Earring styles from these decades favored drop and dangle silhouettes, often featuring gemstones in bezel or prong settings. Rose-cut stones, cabochons, and faceted gems all appeared in period pieces, surrounded by scrollwork and filigree patterns rendered in precious metals. Our sterling silver interpretations honor these historical aesthetics while using contemporary construction methods. The .925 silver standard ensures durability and tarnish resistance with proper care. Natural stones in this collection include varieties popular during the original golden age—garnets, amethysts, turquoise, and seed pearls—alongside options that complement vintage-inspired metalwork. SilverRush Style has sourced and sold natural stone jewelry since 2005.
