Sparkling gemstones can be set in different ways. Either the stone is held by a surrounding frame, which is stable but allows less light to reach the stone. Or the goldsmith creates small bars, so-called prongs, which hold the stone so that it remains light and airy. This latter type of setting in particular has taken on numerous forms over the generations. A particularly enchanting one is the so-called "buttercup" setting. The buttercup frame was developed as early as the mid-19th century and is named after the flower. A glance at the shape immediately explains the name: the space between the prongs that hold the stone is designed in the form of semi-circular arches that look like the petals of the flower. This pair of antique earrings from France shows us this type of setting in a particularly decorative way. Three beautiful old-cut diamonds are set in buttercup settings that are movably connected to each other. The glittering gemstones sparkle down the leverbacks like a flower arrangement. In total, the earrings contain more than one carat of diamonds. They are crafted from high-carat white gold. The earrings, which were created around 1920, are beautifully preserved and a wonderful eye-catcher on the ear.
