AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A pair of vintage earrings with a classic and timeless style, characterized by understated and refined elegance. At the center of each earring is a teardrop-cut emerald, 6x4 millimeters, with an intense green hue, framed by a delicate pavé of small white sapphires that enhance its brilliance with refined play of light. The same sapphires also embellish the round closure hook, partially decorating it and creating continuity in the harmony of the design. The entire structure is made of 925 sterling silver, skillfully coated using the ancient technique of lamination with a thin layer of 14-karat yellow gold. This traditional process not only gives a warm and precious luminosity to the surface but also helps preserve the authentic vintage appearance of the jewelry over time.
Earrings that combine craftsmanship, vintage taste, and a subtle touch of opulence, capable of telling style and history with discreet magnificence.
The total weight of the stones is approximately 5.40 ct. The earrings measure 28x7 millimeters. Hidden clasp.
Sterling 925 gold-plated 14 kt.
Gemstones: Emeralds, Sapphires
Dimensions: 28x7 millimeters

My gaze on the jewel
When observing these enchanting earrings, I noticed many interesting aspects that enhance the jewelry.
The craftsmanship and structure of the hook, which is not simply smooth but is embellished with a row of small sapphires set one by one, are described. This detail not only enhances the overall brilliance but also reveals a more complex craftsmanship compared to classic smooth hooks.
The 'crown' setting around the emerald: the sapphires surrounding the stone are not arranged randomly, but form a very elaborate frame typical of vintage style mountings. This technique requires precision and helps to add depth and light to the emerald.
3. The 'articulated pendant' effect: the lower part is not fixed but slightly mobile relative to the hook. This movement amplifies the brilliance when the earring moves, a refined detail often overlooked by inexperienced eyes.
4. The gold finish and its thickness. Gold plating is not just aesthetic: the layer appears uniform and well-distributed, indicating a high-quality gold bath technique. The warm shine of the plating better highlights the stones.
5. Balance between size and proportions. Despite the richness of the stones, the earrings maintain excellent balance: the hook is not too bulky, and the central drop is not disproportionate. This balance is not accidental and is a sign of well-studied design.
The earrings are shipped immediately after purchase worldwide, with a fast and insured 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.
