If you look through jewellery catalogs, fashion catalogs and portrait photographs from the 1890s, you will hardly find one thing: Opulent pendant earrings. "Earrings are [...] no longer as popular as they used to be," wrote the fashion magazine Bazar in December 1897. However, the desire to adorn oneself naturally lived on. And so in catalogs and fashion illustrations of the time, a wide variety of small stud earrings and tiny pendants can be admired instead, which impress not with great pomp, but with luxurious materials and elegant restraint. Sparkling diamond earrings were worn for evening and ball gowns to complement the latest diamond-studded necklaces and tiaras. This pair of earrings combines exquisite materials in the smallest of spaces and could also be worn with a ball gown. A wreath of white old-cut diamonds nestles around a natural pearl set in platinum, creating the impression of a small flower. The natural pearls have a natural, slight bouton shape so that they do not protrude too far beyond the diamond wreath and come in a warm cream tone with a fine orient. Together, the diamonds weigh around 3.08 ct and are presented in beautiful, individual old cuts, which, like the workmanship and design, refer to a period of origin towards the end of the 19th century. We were able to acquire this beautiful and classic pair of earrings from a high-quality German private collection. They are in very good condition. The studs have been replaced recently, making the pair safe and easy to wear.
