AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Long Victorian-style drop earrings in 14k gold and aged silver with emeralds and quartz surround
Timeless elegance and aristocratic distinction. We present this magnificent pair of articulated long earrings, a handmade masterpiece with no visible contrast, perfectly capturing the essence and romance of antique jewelry. The design consists of two delicately joined sections that provide fluid, sophisticated movement as you walk. The upper body features a central octagonal-cut emerald, surrounded by a richly worked floral surround. From it hangs a majestic central pear-shaped piece, crowned by a pear-cut emerald in a bright, deep green, framed by a double festoon of sparkling stones that maximize light reflection. The metal shows an exquisite antiqued (patinated) finish characteristic of high-era pieces, highlighting the hypnotic green of the emeralds. An ideal piece for vintage aesthetics collectors as well as for wearing on grand occasions.
These earrings were adapted around 1935 by replacing the original hooks with Omega backs for greater comfort and security.
