Distinguished restraint was the watchword of earring fashion around 1900: "Earrings, even if not a few people wear them, are not a matter of course in the jewellery box," one could read in February 1899, for example, in the American magazine The Jewelers' Circular. When they were worn, usually in the evening, they were usually precious but subtle diamond solitaires on screw studs, or diamond-set dormeuses. The diamonds should sit close to the earlobe, long and pendulous earrings, on the other hand, were considered indelicate and would only slowly come back into fashion around 1910. The elegant effect of such ear jewellery is demonstrated by the present pair. The design is kept simple and luxurious. Each earring focuses on a large, pure old-cut diamond in a round, polished white gold setting that sits with a shadow gap in a yellow gold setting. In total, the two old-cut diamonds weigh 1.60 carats. The stones are impressive in their brilliance and quality. Earrings in this form were particularly successful around 1900 and are virtually symptomatic of the ear jewellery of the Belle Époque. While earrings of those years were mostly made of silver and yellow gold, this pair is made of white and yellow gold, because it is a goldsmith's work of the years around 2000. With the use of the antique diamonds, which were actually cut in the years around 1900 and the form language, which ties in with the years of the Belle Époque, old sense of form and modern goldsmith's craft are combined. The earrings are very well preserved and were created from the desire to revive the splendor of the Belle Époque. They thus offer a new life to the diamonds of the years around 1900. The earrings found their way to us here in Berlin.
