ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Measuring 1 1/4-inch long and lovely (and they drop even a bit further from the ear wires), and dating back to the first or second decade of the twentieth century, these stunning Edwardian-era ear drops are perfect with blue jeans or blue satin. Slightly curved, gently graduated rows of blueberry-blue sapphires, alternating with sparkling white old mine-cut diamonds, culminate in dangling bezel-set European-cut diamonds ringed in rosy-yellow gold. Total diamond weight - .82 carat, total sapphire weight - 1.50 carats. Lever backs.

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.
