"When I hear the word Russia, I think of a great plain where it is twilight. I can't imagine the sun shining there; it's always twilight, and in the distance there's a big city with lights in the windows, and somewhere in the twilight someone is singing or crying." Our imagination still fluctuates between these two poles, as so aptly described by Eduard von Keyserling in his 1917 novel Fürstinnen, when we think of the Russia of the late Tsarist Empire: on the one hand the splendor and festivity, on the other the melancholy and melancholy of the vast landscape. This pair of earrings made from luxurious materials tells of precisely these impressions. It was created in Russia - according to its hallmark, it was presented to the inspection authorities in Moscow between 1898 and 1908. It was therefore created before the revolution that was to cost the lives of the tsar and his family. At the same time, it has the warm, summery glow of the endless birch forests of the Russian plains. In the center, the earrings showcase gorgeous green emeralds in a faceted drop cut, which are accompanied by a carmation of old-cut diamonds. The emeralds are Colombian stones, as determined by a gemological laboratory. The pair is made of slightly reddish gold with the typical Russian fineness of 56 zolotnik (equivalent to 583/000) and has a silver display side. It is very well preserved, only the two modern brilliant-cut diamonds in their white gold settings at the top of the earrings were added during the graduated 20th century and one of the emeralds shows a chip at the upper end, which very probably occurred when the earrings were made or when the emerald was set into the earring. We discovered this unusually beautiful pair in Frankfurt am Main. The earrings are accompanied by the illustrated gemmological report from Vienna.
