These elegant, delicate earrings gleam warmly in the shimmer of reddish gold and orange-brown carnelian. A first carnelian, cut into a round cabochon, is set in gold under a simple hoop. Two small chains hold another, larger carnelian, which is cut into a drop. The chains give the design a beautiful movement on the ear. The earrings are very finely and elegantly crafted by hand. Their finesse and the combination of colors and materials allow us to date them to the first decades of the 19th century. Jewelry with carnelian and other related quartz stones such as moss agate and banded agate was very fashionable at the time and was worn during the day. One of the models was certainly the preference, already known from antiquity, to cut cameos and intaglios from carnelian and wear them as jewellery, so that the material itself was already a reference to the model of antiquity. We discovered the earrings in London and they were most likely made in England.
