Vintage Gold-Tone Fleur-de-Lis Rhinestone Drop Earrings

Description:
A small fleur-de-lis stud carries a crown-set clear rhinestone and below it a fan of hand-chased scrolls, ornate in the Victorian manner. This kind of romantic revival detail was a favorite of 1980s–1990s costume jewelry, with the engraved lines catching warm light across the gold-tone surface. The drop swings freely on a small jump ring, so the earrings move gently without pulling. They’re dainty enough for every day and still feel a little ceremonial.
