Charles X-Period Emerald Suite

About the Item

A magnificent example of Charles X-period craftsmanship, this exquisite suite features a necklace, brooch and pendant earrings, each adorned with lush emeralds and sparkling old European cut diamonds. The intricate gold and silver settings are masterfully engraved with delicate vegetal motifs, capturing the refined elegance of the period (1824 to 1830), a time marked by an elevated emphasis on sophisticated and elegant jewelry design. The necklace is set with approximately 4.14 carats of emeralds and 0.25 carat of diamonds, while the pendant earrings feature 2.00 carats of emeralds and 0.21 carat of diamonds. The brooch is adorned with 2.65 carats of emeralds and 0.42 carat of diamonds. The vibrant gemstones, totaling 8.79 carats of emeralds across the suite, contrast beautifully with the shimmering settings. Jewelry from the Charles X period is celebrated for its graceful designs, intricate metalwork and romantic aesthetic, often inspired by nature and classical influences. This era marked a transition toward more delicate and highly detailed works, emphasizing elegance and sophistication. Circa 1826 Necklace: 17" length Earrings: 2 1/8" length Brooch: 2" length

Ancient Roman Carved Emerald Brooch
Located in New Orleans, LA
An ancient Roman emerald carved with the features of a man's face is the center stone of this 19th-century brooch.

The museum-quality, Roman-period stone is displayed in an impeccably crafted Victorian-era silver and silver gilt setting. Emeralds, diamonds and rubies complement the carved emerald, while a single Baroque pearl...
