Diamond jewellery was once reserved for festive evening events, where it could unfold its full effect. In the warm glow of the numerous candles, completely different diamond cuts came into their own than later in electric light. It was in this context that the rose cut developed, often in a closed setting, as we can admire in this pair of earrings. The diamonds are set in silver and backed with gold. In the slightly darkening settings, the stones stand out above all with their light that flashes with every movement. One large, drop-shaped diamond is suspended in a diamond-set element, the shape of which is reminiscent of a lyre. Small ivy leaves, also set with diamonds, elegantly connect to the earpiece, which has been carefully renewed in our workshop. The originally closed settings of the large diamond drops were opened on the back at a later date, presumably to remove the foils that were frequently used at the time, which served to amplify the light but lost their function when oxidized. The diamond-set elements were probably originally part of a larger piece of jewellery. Detached from this context, it is no longer easy to determine their exact age - after all, the nostalgic recourse to rose diamonds in foil settings was en vogue throughout the 19th century and occasionally even in the early 20th century. This elegant pair came to us from Cologne.
