Cocktail parties, opera balls, film premieres and grand receptions – with the end of the immediate post-war period, scarcity and much-needed reconstruction, social life also picked up again throughout Europe. And with it, at the same time, a demand for splendid jewellery arose again. The pair of enchanting stud earrings presented here dates back to this time of new beginnings. The studs are made of white gold in the form of large flowers. Richly set with fine diamonds and shimmering pearls, they form a symphony of white light reflections. In addition to modern brilliant-cut diamonds, old and transitional cut diamonds have also been used, presumably from older heirloom jewels. Practical clip fittings combined with plugs hold the blossoms securely on the ear. The pair found its way to us from Vienna. It is beautifully preserved and is as luxurious as it is typical of the time.

White jewels, jewelry in white colorfulness, celebrate the light. At the end of the 19th century, the innovation of the electric light bulb turned night into day. Consequently, jewellery could now shine in the evening as never before. At the grand balls in Paris, London and St. Petersburg, ever more magnificent diamond necklaces were presented, as well as tiaras, brooches and rings, all dreams in white diamonds. Their forms were initially oriented on Napoleon's classicism. Delicate leaves and geometric patterns formed the basis. With the onset of modernism, the designs then became more non-representational, more dynamic and the formal world of Art Deco prevailed.
