About the Item

Very fine quality antique Etruscan Revival carved coral and 18K yellow gold earrings, the cone shaped goldwork embellished with intricate floral elements and a central shell design composed of fine wire work, mounted with elongated beautiful coral carvings with distinctive pine cone motifs. The Pine cone was considered a symbol of enlightenment, fertility, third eye and eternal life by the Assyrians, Greeks, Romans and Christians. Their design forms a perfect Fibonacci sequence, one of the most famous formulas in Mathematics where each number in the sequence is the sum of the two numbers that precede it. Highly unusual, stunning design with interesting historical relevance. Lovely, rich red coral. Condition: Very Good, with later 14K gold hoops for pierced ears Length: 2.56 inches/ 65mm
