Do these look Edwardian to you?

I came across these earrings and I really like them. The shop owner said they are “Edwardian era or even older” but I have my doubts. The back is stamped “K18” and “DO 010”. I have never seen “K18” on antiques before myself.

Perhaps he means Edwardian style (or older) design wise, and these are more modern make?

Edit: Is it correct to say £295 is overpriced?

Context: they were bought for me as a gift. But I can’t stop thinking about the interaction in the store and the salesman telling me they are “Edwardian or even older” and writing “Edwardian” on the receipt after I asked him what era these are.

Edit edit: I have emailed the shop to request a partial refund as I would like to keep these earrings but they were sold to me with a verbal and written misrepresentation. I asked for a partial refund of £120, bringing the retail price down to £175 (Under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods have to match their description, if they don’t the buyer has the right to a partial refund and they can keep the product).
