About the Item

Stuart Crystal silver and gold earrings, c. 1650, Georgian, (King George the Second). These Stuart Crystals, square cut with soft corners, are set in silver with gold wire, which were probably updated and replaced. The Crystals are held by multiple prongs which are in good condition (especially given the age of these earrings). Usually on pieces of this age, there is obvious repair and restabilization, especially on the prongs caused by wear. Also, It is important that the prongs are that there is no gaps between the crystals and the metal because getting moisture behind the crystals is undesirable. Under the flat topped crystal with faceted sides, is the scepter which is made probably of gold (or a gold colored) thread, placed on a red background which gives off a red/pink hue. This red background usually fades with time. Stuart Crystal jewelry was worn as a rememberance by sympathizers of King Charles 1, from the House of Stuart, convicted of treason and executed on January 30th, 1649. These earrings are silver, 800. We have acid tested the silver to confirm this. The earring's shepard hooks are 15K, and again we have acid tested to confirm the gold. The earrings had originally a gold wash which can be still seen in places on the back of the earrings. The crystals measure one half inch in length and slightly more than one half inch in width. We have encountered over the many decades Stuart Crystal jewelry. These earrings in good condition are a fine example of a most unusual type of antique jewelry. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box. We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango". We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond. Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%. Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
