About the Item

This pair of handmade, vintage diamond, blue sapphire, pearl, and 18 karat rose gold earrings by renowned goldsmith Elmar Seidler, who was born in Konstanz and based in Munich, showcases his exceptional mastery of technique and skill in manipulating gold. Crafted in Germany in 1950, the earrings measure approximately 1.6 inches in length, making them versatile for both casual daytime wear and glamorous evening events. Elmar Seidler (1904 -1976) was a renowned German goldsmith and jeweler known for his unique and timeless creations. Born in Konstanz, Germany, he began his career as a goldsmith’s apprentice at the age of fourteen. In 1921, Seidler moved to Munich to train under the acclaimed Art Nouveau jeweler Karl Rothmüller, known as “the Lalique of Munich.” By 1926, he had achieved the status of master jeweler and opened his own shop on Schellingstrasse in Munich. Seidler’s work was distinctive for its departure from contemporary fashion trends, drawing inspiration instead from the jewelry masterpieces of ancient Rome and Greece. His intricate designs often featured large central stones set with smaller gemstones, a style described as “a jewel in a jewel setting.” This approach made his pieces stand out during the Art Deco period, which dominated the 1930s. Highly active during the early to mid-20th century, Seidler’s creations included a wide range of jewelry pieces such as rings, earrings, pendants, and brooches, often incorporating a mix of precious stones like diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and moonstones. His jewelry was known for its detailed craftsmanship and artistic elegance.
