Jewellery with brightly colored stones was a big fashion in the early 19th century. Riviere necklaces, brooches and rings in Giardinetti designs and earrings in the shape of bright flowers - everything was allowed to be colorful. Not only fine stones such as garnets, citrines, topazes or even diamonds were used, but also cut glass stones called paste. The appearance was more important than the material value. These earrings have an intense violet and golden glow that is entirely in keeping with the taste of the early 19th century. A total of 46 faceted amethysts form luminous flowers and two large, drop-shaped frames. All the stones are set in gold. Large, practical earwires make the earrings easy and comfortable to wear. The workmanship of the earrings shows that the pair was created in the years shortly after 1900. The delicate gold bezel settings feature milgrains, for example, which were common shortly after 1900. Nevertheless, the goldsmith who created them certainly had historical models from the early 19th century in mind, light, airy and colorful models that had become fashionable again in the years shortly after 1900. We discovered the earrings here in Berlin. The gold stamp on the back shows that the pair was made in Germany. The ear hoops have been renewed in more recent times.
