9ct Gold Blue John Drop Earrings, Early 20th Century

A pair of 9ct gold drop earrings set with tapered Blue John panels beneath simple gold fittings. The stones display the distinctive natural banding associated with Blue John, with soft lilac, cream, and deep plum tones giving each earring individual character. The elongated drop design creates gentle movement while remaining easy to wear. Early 20th-century Blue John jewellery is increasingly difficult to source, particularly matched pairs retaining their period feel. Small chips are visible to the edges of the stones on close inspection, consistent with age and use. One original butterfly back remains present, while the second is a later replacement fitting. An attractive and honest example of antique British stone jewellery.
