This pair of earrings corresponds to the type of pendeloque earring that first came into fashion in the 18th century. This type of earring is characterized by a stylized ribbon bow motif with a pendulum suspended below. This gallant fashion found new popularity in the c. 1900s. In the glow of electric light bulbs at the grand balls in Vienna, Paris and London, the ladies' white jewels shone brightly, their shapes often inspired by the courtly life of the previous century. These earrings are designed in this style, made of silver on a gold back. A total of around two carats of diamonds sparkle in the settings. They show modern cuts and therefore also a modern, very good brilliance. The stones are white to slightly warm-toned, which goes very well with the warm shine of the silver. The workmanship of the metals and the design language show that the earrings were created in the c. 1900s. The cuts of the diamonds, however, are cuts from the second half of the 20th century. They were therefore not set into the diamonds until later. We therefore assume that our earrings were once set with glass stones, so-called paste. The great demand for diamond jewellery and the rapidly changing fashions had made imitation diamonds such as clear paste stones socially acceptable at the turn of the century, and they were also set in silver and gold. However, glass is naturally neither as durable nor as precious as diamonds, so a previous owner probably decided to give the earrings a longer life due to their beautiful shape and design. We were able to discover the elegant pair as they are in Vienna. Even today, it tells of a legendary ball season...
