These adorable antique coffee bean earrings are carved from Scottish banded agate and are a lovely example of Victorian "lucky" bean jewellery.
The agate drops are semi-translucent banded in golden grown shades. Subtle but far from plain the drops suspend from dainty gold on sterling silver hooks. If you love antique minimalist earrings these may be the ones for you!
Small and lightweight the earrings measure 1" (3cm) from top to bottom with the beans measuring 1.2 cm in diameter. Total weight of both earrings is 2.7 grams. The hooks are stamped '925' for sterling silver.
A very cute pair of antique earrings, effortlessly wearable and bound to bring good luck! The bean is an ever present jewellery motif in Victorian jewellery symbolising longevity and fertility. For centuries bean seed pods had been carried over the Atlantic from the Americas and Caribbean, eventually arriving on European shores. Because they survived the long and perilous journey from distant shores and still managed to grow they were considered lucky indeed!
At Mercy Madge we offer distinctive and unique antique jewellery. Each piece is carefully hand selected by us, for you. We rarely come across two identical old treasures, once they are gone, they are truly gone!
