Antique Edwardian earrings / ear pendants. Aquamarine, diamonds, 18k yellow gold, platinum. Made circa 1910. European.
Measurements: Weight is 5.7 grams. A tad under 1 3/4 inches (42mm) long.
Description : Long, elegant ear pendants. Classic Edwardian or Belle Epoque design and quality. A long line of minutely set diamonds link the ear lobe to an aquamarine drop. The diamonds, as was the custom at the time, were set in platinum. Fine design w millegrained borders. Diamond sections linked by loops, allowing the earrings to swing and sway as the wearer moves.
The faceted elongated pear-shaped aquamarine are of a lovely, lively, clear light blue color. Colors suit and enhance every complexion.
Marks and Metal: No marks. Metals were electronically tested.
Condition: Good with negligible wear commensurate with age. Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
THE STORY: the period following Queen Victoria released a love of beauty and luxury when her pleasure-loving, art appreciating son, became King Edward. Simultaneous to the appreciation of beauty and art, technology advanced in leaps and bounds and the combination of art and technology produced one of the most exquisite periods of jewelry making in history. These earrings are a great example. We can imagine the original owner at a very fancy, royal ball, dancing the night away with her earrings flashing in the light. Clearly well looked after for generations, the earrings are as wearable today as they were over 100 years ago.
