Earrings of a small size, but sometimes of great value, were particularly popular at the end of the 19th century: "Small pendants are still popular. A pearl, a large diamond close to the earlobe and at most a falling stone are all that is needed," wrote the influential ladies' journal Der Bazar. Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung (43rd year 1897, no. 43, p. 577). Our goldsmith took this recommendation to heart when designing the earrings presented here. The earrings each feature two old-cut diamonds in their antique settings from around 1890, together weighing around 0.90 ct. As was customary at the time, they were chosen primarily for their fire and brilliance; qualities that made them particularly desirable in the new electric light of the time. A larger stone weighing around 0.30 ct sparkles beneath a smaller diamond weighing around 0.15 ct. Both stones are set one above the other in their prong settings. Our goldsmith has added the creamy luster of two large modern pearls to the brilliance of the diamonds. The result is a light, harmonious gradient from top to bottom and an elegant color transition from the white of the gemstones to the cream of the pearls and the luminous tone of the reddish gold. Could the Bazar correspondents and readers have guessed that this jewellery fashions of its time would one day be considered timeless and classic - precisely because of the reduction to two precious jewels each? The earrings are now waiting for a wearer who values a classic and versatile jewelry wardrobe.
