ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Beautiful natural saltwater pearls are among the rarest of gems, and these exquisite Edwardian-era earrings are graced by two stunning and sizable specimens, each measuring just shy of 10 millimeters. The ravishing jewels of the sea--perfectly imperfect in their organic button form--shimmer with an enchanting iridescence and are highlighted all around by halos of gloriously glittering icy-white European-cut diamonds. Just for you, because one rare thing deserves another. Total diamond weight, 2.65 carats. Hand-fabricated in platinum. Original clips have been replaced by platinum posts/backs. Digital GIA Pearl Report is available.

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.
