AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A pair of elegant earrings in 925 silver plated with 18-carat gold, characterized by a lively design inspired by nature. Their slender shape enhances their elegance and gives the jewelry a distinctive and refined appearance, while the yellow gold plating adds warmth and a touch of luxury.
The upper part of each earring features a delicate floral motif composed of six natural teardrop-shaped emeralds, 6×4 millimeters, set with slender gold prongs. At the center of the flower, a small bright pink ruby stands out, illuminating the composition with a lively splash of color and creating a captivating focal point. From the floral motif, a pendant chain extends, adorned with five emeralds, also teardrop-shaped, 4×3 millimeters, enclosed in a fine gold setting. The vertical emeralds are perfectly aligned, evoking the natural movement of a flower stem. The harmony between the deep green of the emeralds and the pink hue of the ruby, enhanced by the luminous gold frame, gives the earrings a balance of classic style and contemporary freshness. The cascading floral silhouette evokes blooming flowers and delicate climbing plants, creating a feminine, refined, and timeless piece of jewelry that showcases artisanal craftsmanship and the beauty of natural stones.
The earrings measure 66x16 millimeters. Closure with a pin and butterfly clasp. 925 stamp present.

My gaze on the jewel
While observing these beautiful earrings, I notice several particular and interesting aspects.
The construction of the flower is not trivial: the emeralds are well calibrated, and this is the result of careful selection.
2. The use of the pink ruby as a stamen: the small central ruby is not a random choice; it creates a highly refined chromatic contrast (green vs. pink/red) and adds a point of light that breaks the uniformity of the green, enhancing the flower. It is a detail that is not often seen.
Fluid and carefully designed movement: the pendant chain is not rigid; the connecting links allow for a smooth and natural motion, so the light reflects better on the emeralds when worn. These details create an effect that is difficult to notice when stationary.
4. Complex setting: the mountings are thin but stable. The emeralds are set with very small prongs, which are difficult to craft on delicate stones like these. Emerald is one of the most fragile gemstones to set.
5. Well-executed botanical silhouette: the design effectively reproduces a flower at the top and a stem made of 'leaf' droplets. Jewelry inspired by nature often risks being either too simple or too literal... but this one is balanced and sophisticated.
The earrings are shipped immediately after purchase worldwide, with fast and insured express courier. A tracking code is provided after the sale. The item is carefully and professionally packaged. When purchasing multiple items from the collection, the buyer pays the cost of a single shipment.
Seller's Story
For about 30 years I have been collecting antique jewels from every corner of the world. These small objects live, breathe, pass down their origins, describe the places they have seen, the historical periods they have lived through. Each has its own life, its own history, but they all have one thing in common: they reflect the soul of those who own them. I can effectively state that a jewel is matter that becomes emotion.
