In earlier generations, those who wished to own jewellery in the latest fashion rarely went to a jeweller to purchase a ready-made piece. Far more often, the path led to the goldsmith, where, guided by their own ideas and in dialogue with the craftsman, a new jewel would be created. A typical practice of the time can be observed again and again: instead of creating entirely new pieces from scratch, existing rings, brooches and necklaces were frequently incorporated and partly re-used. In this way, jewels were created that could be both rooted in tradition and strikingly modern. It was this very approach that guided us in the design of the present pair of earrings. They were fashioned from a brooch dating to around 1860, which reached us only in fragmentary form and was then reworked in our atelier into these earrings. The antique elements appear in the form of two rounded arches, each centred with a small blossom. They are richly set with a total of seventy sparkling diamonds in cushion-shaped old cuts, the so-called “Old Mine Cut”. The fronts are crafted in darkly patinated silver, while the backs are backed with gold. Altogether, we see here approximately 3.40 carats of fine old diamonds. We have mounted these antique elements with high-carat gold ear wires and suspended from each a natural green tourmaline in a drop-shaped briolette cut. The tourmalines captivate with their lively inclusions, attesting to their natural origin. This newly created pair of earrings, born from antique components, delights with its graceful movement, the brilliance of its precious diamonds, and its pleasing touch of green colour.
