Antique Victorian Butterfly Earring & Brooch Set 14/10k

This Victorian era set includes a pair of drop earrings and a butterfly brooch, each made from a combination of sterling silver, 14 karat rose gold, and 10 karat yellow gold. The earrings feature round cabochon cut turquoise stones—cabochon cut means the stones are polished smooth with a domed surface rather than faceted, which showcases the turquoise's natural color and matrix patterns. The turquoise displays the characteristic blue-green color with possible brown or black veining from its natural formation.

All pieces in this set show natural patina from age, which appears as darkened areas in the recessed details of the metalwork. The butterfly brooch combines all three metal colors in its construction, creating contrast between the warm tones of rose and yellow gold against the cooler silver.

The drop earrings hang below the earlobe and move as you wear them, drawing attention to the turquoise centers. The multi-metal construction and Victorian-era design elements like detailed filigree work are typical of jewelry from the late 1800s.
