Nothing changes as quickly as fashion. What is a "must have" one season is barely wearable the next. This was no different in earlier times than it is today. In the mid-19th century, large earrings made of warm, shiny yellow gold were fashionable. By the end of the century, however, people only wore small earrings, single, shining solitaires; indeed, having pierced ears at all was sometimes considered an aberration in bad taste. But just ten years later, large earrings, long pendants or wide compositions were back in fashion. These earrings are a fine example of this: they are designed as magnificent clusters, each with three pendulums. Around each large diamond weighing around 0.40 ct, other diamonds of approximately the same size are set, creating a flower shape. Three drop-shaped pendulums are attached to it in a movable manner. A total of 4.55 ct of diamonds of good quality are set in gold-lined silver. The diamonds sparkle against a lightly patinated background in bright white. Like the back, the earwires are made of slightly reddish gold. We really like the earrings as they have a beautiful movement. It is also rare to find such a well-preserved pair of earrings from those years. An independent expert opinion on the quality of the diamonds is included with the earrings. We discovered the earrings in Vienna. Their shape and workmanship are typical of jewellery from the imperial and royal period, so it is likely that they were also created in Vienna or another city of the Danube Monarchy.
