These earrings were created in the early years of the 20th century. It was the time of the Belle Époque, a carefree era, a celebration of the beauty of life. The fashions and balls of the great cities throughout Europe were very similar, one last time before the terrible wars. People looked forward to the future, and luxury and joie de vivre were to be the guiding principles of this future. During this time, people loved sparkling jewellery made from high-quality materials. However, earrings were preferred to be dainty and unadorned, which is why this pair focuses entirely on the beauty of precious natural treasures: We see a large old European cut diamond in each and a wonderful oriental pearl underneath. The diamonds are set in platinum settings shaped like crowns to enhance their bright sparkle. Underneath, as a pendulum, first another small diamond and then the pearl are set in a setting with rose-cut diamonds. The pair of earrings is fitted with gold ear screws. This means that the ear jewellery can also be worn without pierced earlobes. A closer look reveals something else: the ear screws are no longer the original fastening mechanism, although they are certainly several generations old. Originally, the pair had leverbacks, similar to modern earrings. So if you have pierced earlobes and would prefer to wear the earrings with hoops and a leverback, please contact us and our goldsmiths will be happy to adapt the earrings accordingly. We discovered the pair in the vintage case pictured from a British jeweller. They were probably also created in Great Britain.
