About the Item

Within these picturesque Art Nouveau earrings crafted in 18K yellow gold and plique-à-jour enamel, a fleeting daydream of an iris meadow glistening of old mine brilliant cut and rose cut diamonds is captured by a glance through a windowpane. Almost whirling through the gold framework, these graceful irises are ever so eager to climb up their future goddess's neck.

Just send us your request and we’ll give you the direct link to the videoclip showing this treasure’s full splendour as no picture can. Country of origin: Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of French origin. Style: Art Nouveau Style specifics: Art Nouveau - The floral ornaments and botanical designs are very typical for the Art Nouveau style. Also the use of curvilinear lines is typical for this period. Period: ca. 1900 Material: 18K yellow gold Technique: Plique-à-jour, (French for "braid letting in daylight"} is a vitreous enamelling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. It has a stained-glass like appearance and is considered very challanging technically. Extra information: However, it was clear to us from the beginning that this piece wasn't in its original form anymore when it was first offered to us. Instead, it was previously altered into a small artefact as is shown on the photo with the presenting hand. Therefore, we've adjusted the two plique-a-jour lids into a pair of earrings in absolute accordance with the era in which they were manufactured, namely the Art Nouveau period. Diamonds: Four old mine brilliant cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.32 crt. and 34 rose cut diamonds and senailles. A senaille is a simplified rose cut diamond, a small diamond chip with perhaps a few polished facets. We do not have the weight of the rose cuts diamonds nor the senailles which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cut diamonds and senailles. - Total diamond weight: approx. 0.32 crt. (without the rose cut diamonds) - All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. - We have all diamonds screened by the IJGC-lab for whether they are natural or synthetic, and all diamonds in this jewel are 100% guaranteed to be natural! Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April. Hallmarks: No trace. Dimensions: height 7,30 cm (2,87 inch) Weight: 20.00 gram (12.86 dwt) Reference Nº: 11139-0001 - Copyright photography: Adin, fine antique jewelry - The jewelry on our pictures is NOT Photoshopped - Comes with certificate
