Some antique jewellery is firmly rooted in its own era and its style is distinctive. Think Art Deco for instance. You can’t mistake it for other time periods.

these Victorian gold tassel earrings from Lang Antiques are a bit of a departure in that they don’t scream Victorian but could easily be worn today without looking dated.

They note, “Chic and sassy, these Victorian earrings add lively movement at your lobes courtesy of dancing foxtail bead-tipped tassels. We see lots of head tossing–and turning–in your future. Hand fabricated in 9K gold (hence of British origin), circa 1885, ear wires are 14K. 1 5/8 inch long.”

These are priced at USD$1,950.
