Featured Another Ladybrancher? Unusual chain link filigree necklace with pendant

The book was

Jewellery in the Age of Queen Victoria - A mirror to the world Charlotte Gere & Judy Rudoe

Here is the reference page with necklace similar to mine

 

The earrings are very cool - Are they gold ??

There are a lot of differnt terms people use to describe this type of filigree.
I see it called Spun Silver , Peasant Silver and in India they call it Taraksi - done in Cuttack East India.

There are so many countries that historically have done this type of silver work, Italy, Portugal, Malta, Peru India etc etc - even the english did it back in the early 19th Century - rare georgian items sometimes turn up. I sold a english hallmarked georgian caddy spoon in it around a year ago

But the country that does it best (in my opinion) is Russia - the russians made quite large items - large caskets etc in breathtaking intricate filigree designs

 

My earrings are 10k - the pair I found that was an exact match mentioned that because of their age, to expect there were "other" alloys. Here's another pair with that same feature:

FINE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN MEXICAN COLONIAL 18K GOLD PEARL DANGLE EARRINGS



Thank you, again @Jewelscollectingdust and Welcome to Antiquers!

 

That would be for day and evening wear. They are stunning, both yours and the coral ones.

As an aside, the concept of Victorian Mexican, as in the listing, is very confusing to me. But I suppose it would make sense to someone from the former British empire.
In the Netherlands we tend to narrow it down to decades or styles. Or say late 19th century, etc.
