Inspired by the Queen Alexandra Earrings, these bohemian crystal and faux pearl earrings have been a popular design since the 1850's. The original pearl earrings, surrounded by diamonds were designed by Garrard the Crown jeweller in 1863. They were part of the wedding gift that the Prince of Wales (Later Edward VII) gave to his bride Princess Alexandra of Denmark. She wore them often, including her Coronation in 1902. They were passed down through the Royal Family to Queen Mary, who wore them often. When she died in 1953, they were bequeathed to HM The Queen Elizabeth II.
These earrings are made from lead-free pewter and gold-toned. They are embellished with faux pearls and bohemian crystals.

Jewellery Care
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
