Description: These lightweight earrings are articulated in two places giving them wonderful fluid movement. They are a combination of jet and vulcanite. The urns and balls are jet but I think the decoration at the top of the urns may be vulcanite. Victorian jewelers commonly mixed these two materials when they created mourning jewelry. These earrings look great on and being lightweight, are so easy to wear! To see other images of this item, please click here: photo1 and photo2
