The acorn symbolizes growth and new beginnings These earrings are light on the ear, backed in 18k gold and have their original ear wires which lock securely in place.

These romantic beauties would be absolutely gorgeous for a bride but we also love the idea of wearing them casually with jeans and a t-shirt. Quite collectable, they're a rare and unique find. 

Chandelier earrings truly flourished during the Georgian era, when they were known as “girandole earrings,” named after ornamental multi-branched candlesticks. These pieces were designed to complement the high, pinned-up hairstyles and low décolletage necklines of fashionable gowns, ensuring the jewels were displayed prominently. They often formed part of elaborate parures representing accumulated wealth passed down through generations.

Measurements: Earrings are 1.75" long including ear wire, .6" wide at their widest point.

Origin: England, c. 1780's.
