This pair of earrings follows a timeless and elegant design: Two large drop-shaped pearls are suspended under golden leverbacks. A synthetic ruby in fiery red sparkles on each of them. According to the hallmark, the antique tops were once exported to Linz and were made at the beginning of the last century. They are set with synthetic rubies, which were new at the time and very fashionable for a short time. In 1891, Auguste Verneuil achieved a major breakthrough in the technology for cultivating gemstones, which revolutionized the world of jewelry at the turn of the century. Verneuil's laboratory-developed rubies were almost indistinguishable from natural stones in terms of structure and color and became the dernier cri of the fashion world, making pieces of jewellery set with rubies more affordable. We added the cultured pearls in our workshop. The result is earrings with a nostalgic touch.
