Queen Victoria's Pearl Drop Earrings |

Queen Victoria wearing the same or a similar pair |
The earrings are a fairly basic design, and comparable pieces can be found in other jewelry collections around the world (and perhaps more than one time in the Queen's collection). Queen Victoria was pictured wearing a similar pair prior to Albert’s gift. The simple design is precisely why they are perhaps my favorite of the Queen’s pearl earrings – they’re a nice contrast to some of her more complicated necklaces and brooches.
