A super cute, super tiny pair of Victorian fly earrings.

The flys bodies and legs are modelled in 15ct gold.
The earrings have the original 15ct gold shepherd hooks, which are comfy to wear and super secure. 

The flys wings are studded with turquoise and pearls set in 15ct gold.

The attention to detail on such tiny earrings is insane.

They make the perfect mini stud, and come in their original mini earring box which is lined with blue velvet and silk, with a black leather exterior.

Circa 1860/70; The Victorians went mad for all things fly and bug related at this time!

A super rare and cool find.

Bracelets & Bangles:

How your bracelet fits is a personal preference.
To check your preferred size, wrap a tape measure loosely around your wrist to the tightness you would like your bracelet to fit.
From the end of the tape measure to the point where it crosses the tape is your desired bracelet length.
Please compare this to the measurements specified on each of our bracelet product pages.
Note, some bracelets are adjustable – this will be mentioned in the description.
Note, if a bangle does not have an opening, you must select one that will pass over your fist.
 
 

Necklaces

All The Old Cut chains and necklaces have the total length detailed in the description.
The measurement will be in cm and inches.
We recommend you place a tape around your neck to see where the chain will sit.
Below is a basic guide to show some popular lengths – note, everyone’s neck is different, so this is just a basic guide.
JEWELLERY CARE

Antique Jewellery should be taken care of during wear.

Cleaning and repairs should be carried out by an antique jewellery specialist.

We recommend removing pieces of jewellery before washing hands or showering, as water can damage the antique settings.

Some pieces are not recommended for everyday wear

The Old Cut guarantees the piece up until the new customer receives the item.

Any stones that are lost or damaged during wear are not covered by The Old Cut. These will be charged for replacement, we can of course help find a suitable jeweller to support repairs.
