It is in the nature of beautiful objects made from luxurious materials that they are reworked over the generations. What seems indispensable to one generation may seem terribly old-fashioned to the next. As early as 1896, the German ladies' journal Der Bazar wrote: "the true lady of the world in London has almost as much to do with her jeweler as with her milliner. Soon she buys a new piece, soon jewels are set differently because fashion is changing, soon she needs a headdress made of luxurious stones, soon diamonds have to be set on a necklace made of velvet - in short, a visit to the jeweler is almost indispensable." The solidly crafted, high-carat gold elements that form the showpieces of these earrings were created around this time. Each element features a turquoise cabochon and a natural pearl between twisted gold rods. Originally, they were elements of a bracelet, which were popular and worn in large numbers at the time. In more recent times, they were reworked into earrings. The simple gold hooks are finished with a shiny gold ball at the top and thus blend harmoniously with the antique elements. We discovered the earrings as they are in London. They combine Victorian craftsmanship with contemporary boho chic. The quote from The Bazaar, 42nd year 1896, p. 144.
