About the Item

Made in England circa 1850, these 15K gold pendant earrings are set with amethysts and chrysoberyls. Each is designed an ovoid top suspending wirework spiral and leaf motifs, highlighted by collet-set oval faceted amethysts, and a flexibly-set open seed form pendant accented by a green chrysoberyl, flanked by coiling elements. These unusual, transitional earrings look back to the Georgian era for their choice of lively gems, and forward to the Victorian designers' love of movement combined with their wide ranging design aesthetic drawing from many traditions. Product Details: Item #: ER-21023 Country: England Circa: 1850 Dimensions: 2.25" length x 0.625" width Materials: 4 oval-cut amethysts; 2 pale green chrysoberyls; 15K Gold Macklowe Gallery Curators Notes: Pale green chrysoberyl was very popular in the Georgian period. Diamonds had been discovered in Brazil in the 1720s, and this led to the exploitation of the abundant colored stone deposits there as well. Green chrysoberyl - also known as Brazilian chrysolite - was in great demand in Europe from the late 18th century.

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.
