Antique Grand Tour 18k Yellow Gold Micromosaic Double Drop Earrings
Located in New York, NY
Grand Tour 18k Yellow Gold Micromosaic Double Drop Earrings 1.5" length from base of ear wire 11 grams in weight for both earrings Made in Italy c.1860s Embark on the tradition of the Grand Tour with our exquisite 18k Yellow Gold Micromosaic Double Drop Earrings. Crafted with the utmost skill and precision in Italy, these earrings are rich in cultural heritage and embody the artistic craftsmanship of the era. Micromosaics, tiny fragments of glass known as tesserae meticulously arranged to create intricate scenes, portraits, or landscapes, became highly sought-after treasures during the 19th century. Coined by Sir Arthur Gilbert, the term “micromosaic” distinguished these works from traditional mosaics. The heyday of micro mosaic jewelry coincided with the Grand Tour, a cultural journey undertaken by affluent Europeans and Americans to absorb Europe's art and culture. Italy, with its history and artistic heritage, was a favored destination, where travelers acquired micromosaic jewelry as cherished souvenirs. These earrings have all the hallmarks of a sentimental lover. Flowers, especially, Forget Me Nots, symbolizing remembrance and true love, have captivated romantics for centuries. Legend has it that a knight, while picking Forget Me Nots for his lady, fell into a stream and, in a final act of love, tossed the flowers to her while crying, "Forget-me-not!" Cherubs, evolving from earthly desires to angelic symbolism, added celestial grace to Italian art. Often depicted as chubby, winged children, cherubs embodied innocence, purity, and divine love. In micromosaic jewelry, cherubs became...

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs

Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry housesTiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.

Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.

Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection. Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement ringsArt Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]

Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.

Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by the likes of contemporary designers WHITE/SPACE and Agmes, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.

Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
