About the Item

Created in the 1860s, these long antique pendant earrings are composed of 18K gold, enamel and split seed pearls. Each is designed as a navette-shaped top enclosing a hemisphere, suspending flexibly-set stepped, open, and interlocking oval, navette, spherical, triangular and rectangular elements, and a tapering drop, with star-set split seed pearl highlights and reddish-orange and royal blue enamel accents. Feather light and charming, these complex earrings full of movement lend warmth and intrigue to the hair and face. Product Details: Item #: ER-21085 Circa: 1860s Dimensions: 2.00" length x 0.75" width Materials: 2 split seed pearls; 18K Gold; Enamel Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: Jewelers of the 19th and 20th centuries carefully observed the fashion trends set by the great couturiers in order to meet their clients' demands for jewels that suited the latest features and flourishes of formal and everyday wear. As Louis Cartier said, "The jeweler is the slave to the dressmaker". As a result of these constantly changing demands of fashion, earrings - which had to respond to new variations in multiple features of dress - necklines, bonnet shapes, and hairstyles which night or might not cover the ears - were most vulnerable to being shortened or simply melted down. More than other forms, antique earrings are rare.

French Art Deco Lapis, Jadeite and Diamond Pendant Earrings
Located in New York, NY
Made circa 1925, these Art Deco platinum, lapis, and jadeite pendant earrings were created in Paris. Each elongated, articulated form is designed as a circular diamond top suspending a cascade of tapering old single-cut diamond links highlighted by a jadeite "bi" and a lapis drop, with millegrain accents and original screwback findings. Graceful and lightweight, these extra long, classic French Art Deco earrings are exquisitely made, comfortable, and imbued with colorful, sparkling movement. Item #: ER-21789 Country: France Circa: 1925 Dimensions: 3.00" length, 0.50" width. Materials: Lapis lazuli; Jadeite; 36 old single-cut diamonds (approximate total weight 0.86 carat); Platinum Gram Weight: 9.5 g. Signed: French assay marks for platinum, Victor Réard maker's mark on findings Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: These delicate and lively pendant earrings are rare survivals from the Art Deco period. They were among the most beloved styles of the 1920s, their markedly elongated forms complementing short hair styles and vertical flowing gowns with flexible trim. Very often, 1920s earrings were shortened later, falling victim to changing hairstyles and couture. On the original findings is the mark of a specialist Parisian workshop located in the Marais, Victor Réard. The workshop was founded in 1921 as the ultimate successor to Achille Leroy. Historically, the workshop had produced refined parts and materials- enamels, secret closures, special necklace clasps, stone mountings, and other findings, for important firms such as Maison Boivin.
