ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

There are some jewels that seem to cause a subtle shift in your very aura. You lift your head higher, there is a different glide in your step, and you seem to glow. These stunning Edwardian earrings (early-20th century) are such jewels. Exquisite electric bluish-green emeralds (total weight, 3.00 carats)--gleaming in glorious contrast to the bright white old mine-cut diamonds that form glittering frames around them--connect to smaller versions* via inverted 'V' shapes frosted with rose cut diamonds, creating a supremely elegant pair of red carpet-worthy earrings. Total emerald weight - 3.54 carats, total diamond weight - 1.60 carats. Hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold (bottom dangles). *The smaller tops are later additions and are fabricated in two-tone 18K gold. GIA gemological reports state: (2) 1.50 carats - clarity enhanced, Colombia origin; .25 carat - clarity enhanced, Brazil origin; .29 carat - no evidence of clarity enhancement, Afghanistan origin. Accompanied by the original box. Note: Of all gemstones, photos can't begin to capture the depth of color and brightness of emeralds, and highly magnified photography exaggerates the inclusions. Thus, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you experience these exquisite earrings in person!

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
