About the Item

Indulge in this stunning and very rare pair of early antique Georgian Paste Dangle Drop Earrings. The dramatic earrings are three inches in length. They have fully articulated sections that dangle beautifully from the ear. The earrings are set with early Paste stones in silver cut down collets. The earrings date to the late 1700s or early 1800s. They are in the style of Marie Antionette and the jewels of her French Court. Early Georgian period jewels frequently used paste stones as diamonds were prohibitively expensive. These early paste jewels can be identified by their pendeloque drop construction and with the stones set in the cut down collets. The earrings are most likely French or Austrian jewels. The remarkable earrings are a delicate, romantic masterpiece of the era. They can be worn everyday or at the most glamorous affair. They evoke the romance of the age and are treasures to be passed on for generations. The earrings are 3 inches (8 cm) tall and 3/4 inch (18mm) wide. The earrings are silver with paste stones. The reverse has a gold gilt wash over the silver. There are some early repairs visible on the back of the earrings consistent with their age. The top shepherd hooks are later additions and are 925 Sterling Silver. The earrings weigh 13 grams.

Antique Victorian Diamonds and Gold with Silver Earrings, 19th Century
Located in Rotterdam, NL
An antique 19th century pair of yellow gold earrings set with rose-cut diamonds crafted in a silver setting. These antique Dutch dangle earrings have a beautiful design with leaves and a flower with a large diamond in the middle - while the stem and leaves feature smaller diamonds. The diamonds in the earrings have a diameter between 1.5 - 5.1 mm. These rose cut diamonds are quite clear in color and are foiled to give them more sparkle. The allure, the subtle shine of this cut, the imperfect shape of the diamond give this cut its own style. The brisures or ear hooks are attached to it at a later period. Rose cut can be counted among the oldest diamond cuts. Unlike brilliant cuts, the rose has no volume at the colet, no point downwards. The underside of the rose is flat. The top is spherical facet cut. The play of light is less than that of the brilliant cut. Roses were widely used in antique jewelry and now in antique style jewelry...
