Vienna experienced a remarkable cultural renaissance in the second half of the 19th century. As early as 1870, the population had surpassed the one-million mark, and the city underwent a fundamental urban redesign and modernization. The metropolis on the Danube was one of Europe’s leading centers of art and gave rise to a distinct style of historicism, known as the Ringstrasse style after the Ringstrasse, which was built along the former fortress belt. Jewellery from Vienna in the decades around the turn of the century is magnificent. The imperial and royal capital was populated by a wealthy bourgeoisie who loved balls and social events and valued art and beautiful things. A first-class jewelry collection was a “must-have” for the ladies of the time. This pair of delicate earrings dates from precisely that era. Their hallmarks clearly identify them as having been made in Vienna. The earrings combine approximately 1.00 ct of diamonds in the historic old European cut with yellow gold and light silver to create an elegant design. Each earring features a larger and a smaller diamond in a harmonious juxtaposition. The gemstones are set in silver settings typical of the period, which optimally showcase the diamonds’ bright, unclouded sparkle. The backs and mountings are crafted in gold to ensure they are skin-friendly and do not cause discoloration, as can occasionally happen with silver jewelry. Being of elegant restraint, his luxurious pair features a harmonious combination of materials and a design that is as compelling as it is timeless.
