Earrings

An art form handed down from the early Greeks and Romans, the cameo regained popularity in the fifteenth and sixteenth century revivals of Europe. Queen Victoria’s love of cameos combined with the burgeoning middle class of the Industrial revolution brought cameos of all kinds to Victorian England.

These wonderful cameo earrings feature classical profiles, one a man and one a woman, the two facing each other. It's most likely that these two are Zeus and Hera, the original 'power couple'. The beautifully detailed carvings are done in shell and set in 9 karat gold twisted wire frames. They would originally have had wires at the top but these have been replaced with post style tops. The earrings measure 27.1 x 17.8 x 9.1 mm and while unmarked they have been acid tested for gold purity. Together these earrings weigh 6.8 grams.

Just now when I went to put up these fantastic earrings, I realized that I didn’t have a saved menu for Art Nouveau earrings. This means that I’ve never listed a pair, that’s how rare and unusual they are!

I come across a lot of earrings while shopping in France that have the unique French style back to front closure. Normally I pass on them as some folks find them a bit confusing, but I simply couldn't resist these wonderful, French Neoclassical gold beauties, after all a good gold earring is hard to find.

These early earrings are completely hand crafted of 18 karat gold. They are a very wearable size and measure 27 mm from top to bottom and 17.4 mm across. They are hallmarked with a single struck eagles head mark and a makers mark, indicating that they were made in France, circa 1780, of 18 karat gold. Together they weigh 4.6 grams.

Back to front earrings work just as they sound, the earring goes through the ear from behind and clips in the front. They are extremely comfortable to wear, but it can take a little time getting used to putting them on. The key is to wiggle the earring instead of trying to just push it through. Don't be surprised if you get hooked on this style of closure once you get used to it!

She wasn’t American, she wasn’t English, she was Scottish. She didn’t drink Whiskey, she drank Scotch. When possible she went with Chivas, 18 year. Wonderfully warm and rich, with that bite on the back end that only Scotch can deliver. She loved to swirl it in her glass and watch it catch the light, the fabulous deep golden color was part of the experience. When she came across these earrings she knew she had to have them, like a little bit of her Highland home frozen in time.

Hand crafted in Victorian Britain, these wonderful earrings are set with beautifully contrasting purple amethyst and whiskey colored citrines.

I consider myself a ‘fine’ jewelry dealer and as such I tend to stick pretty tightly to my rule of only purchasing jewelry made from precious metals. However, every once in a while a piece comes along which provides a wonderful exception to the rule. These fantastic Swiss enamel earrings are the perfect example. The beauty and craftsmanship of these richly worked earrings puts the ‘fine’ back into them, despite them being made only in pinchbeck.

These exquisitely done earrings were hand crafted in Switzerland around 1830. They are decorated with frames of black and white and each features a lovely lady, in fact I rather think that they both feature the same lovely lady, one of her dressed in a traditional outfit for Daytime and the other one of her dressed up for Nighttime, in a sense they are ‘night and day’ earrings. Lovely and long, these earrings measure 65.9 mm north to south and 22.6 mm across, together they weigh 10.1 grams. They bear no marks and have been acid tested.

It was very common for Arts & Crafts artists working around the turn of the (last) century to use gems that were inexpensive, many of them were ‘starving artists’ and so they often worked in silver and lesser stones, or even no stones at all. No wonder, then, that these artists gravitated towards ceramics in all forms. Many potteries were formed in England at the end of the 1890s including Ruskin, one of the most famous. These beautiful earrings look to be set with turquoise, but are in fact set with beautiful pieces of Ruskin ceramic.

Hand crafted in about 1900, these beautiful earrings features lush panels of ceramic set in sterling silver. The ceramic pieces measure 17.7 x 13 mm and the overall earrings are 36 mm from top to bottom and 18.8 mm across, together they weigh 5.7 grams. These earrings are unmarked but have been acid tested to verify metal content.

These stylish earrings are as artistic now as when they were made well over one hundred years ago, they are sure to garner lots of compliments!

There are only a few dealers that I buy from who have such exquisite taste and such amazing collections of jewelry that I actually want to be them.

Sometimes you just have to take a piece of jewelry off of someones person. We jewelers all know this. Back in my wholesaling days, I almost never wore my own jewelry into an appointment because I knew I’d be stripped of a ring or a necklace or earrings before I made it out the door. These earrings are a good case in point, they looked so wonderful dangling from the ears of my vendor friend that I just had to ask, and she popped them right off and into my hand!

Wonderful, original earrings are not always the easiest thing to find, they were often separated over the years, so I was thrilled to find these beauties.

Have you ever visited Brighton? If you get the chance, I highly recommend it. Go visit the Brighton Pavilion, a pleasure palace built by King George IV. The outside might look like a tiny Taj Mahal, but the inside is full on Chinese. Well, not real Chinese, really, but more like what the English in the 1820s thought Chinese interiors would look like. They really didn’t get it quite right, but it’s a marvel for the senses, so go anyway! And wear these earrings while you’re there, you’ll fit in just fine.

A classic pair of Silver earrings just like these would have been ‘de rigueur’ day-wear for the Victorian lady.

Scottish inspired jewels made their way through Victorian English society like wildfire once Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, purchased Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands in 1852. At first locally made jewels were purchased by the hoards of people who followed the Royal Court to the far northern reaches of their country, but after awhile those jewels were gone and so jewelers in England began to recreate these jewels, often in very fanciful and un-Scottish motifs. They used colorful stones like agate, bloodstone, carnelian and granites native to Scotland, and shipped their wares north to Scotland to be bought up by the tourists.

These wonderful earrings are an example of Scottish jewelry that was likely made in England, they are set with lovely pink and gray Scottish agate and are fully hand crafted in sterling silver. These lovelies were made around 1890, they measure 43 mm top to bottom and 13.7 mm across and they weigh 3 grams.

‘Do you like these?’ I asked him, fingering my earrings.
‘Aye, they’re right bonnie’, he responded.
I’d noticed his eyes going to them all evening. I’d also noticed his chiseled jawline, his quiet intensity and his bright laughing blue eyes.
‘Would you like to dance with the lady who sports them?’ I suggested, not so subtly.
‘Aye, that’d be braw’, he smiled and it lit up the room.

The holy grail of antique jewelry buying is always, always, a fabulous pair of gold earrings. So, you just know that these Etruscan Revival beauties made my heart go pitter-pitter-pat when I came across them lying in a velvet-lined display case in a poorly lit stall at the antiques market in Ardingly, in the south of England.

Inspired by the discoveries and excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum, Victorian jewelers produced lightly crafted jewels featuring granulation and fine wire work in the way that only the most skilled jewelers could do. These wonderful 15 karat gold and Rhodolite Garnet earrings have an appealing shape and wonderful movement on the ear. Each earring is set with one round 4x4 mm plummy garnet and one 6.3 x 5.7 mm oval faceted garnet. They are 19 mm wide and drop 52 mm from the top of the wire. Together they weigh 5.2 grams. These kind of hollow jewels showcase the great skill and ability of the jewelers at this time to utilize very little gold to great effect, but due to their hollow nature they are very venerable to damage and so are quite rare and hard to find, especially as earrings. Made in England around 1860.

Zoltan White was born in Hungary. He trained in Budapest for jewelry making and began his firm, Zoltan White & Co., in England. His business operated from around 1910 to the 1940s. His work has a clear Austro-Hungarian feel, given his background and childhood experiences, although he was part of the British Arts and Crafts tradition.

She heard his motorcycle stop around the corner of the café from where she sat. She could tell something interesting was happening when all the women on the terrace stood up straighter and the men widened their stances. She continued sipping her coffee and reading the paper. The scent of cedar and sugar lingered as he passed by her. Her eyes moved from her paper and into his ocean blue eyes, just for a glimpse. They were bordered by dark brows and handsome features. She didn’t smile, straighten or stare, she just observed. He paused and said, “Nice earrings,” before continuing on his way through to wherever he was going.

They were her sister’s earrings until she borrowed them for a wedding last summer. She conveniently forgot to give them back over the holidays; and she just happened to forget her own earrings for the New Year’s Eve party. Thank goodness her sister said she could borrow them for one more night, which might accidentally have turned into another two months. She secretly hopes her sister forgets all about them. She’d like to wear them all the time. She likes the way they glitter, how they go with all her favorite things.

These antique Georgian flat cut diamond earrings were handcrafted in England around 1830. There are 24 rose cut diamonds decorating these leaf-shaped drop earrings. They have been acid tested, the hooks are 18 karat gold while the backs are 15 karat gold. They bear no marks. Each earring measures 33 x 15.3 mm and together they weigh 5.4 grams.

Please note that while the majority of these earrings are Georgian, they may not have started life out as earrings. It seems to me that at some point they may have been made from an old Georgian piece of jewelry, so the connection points and ear wires are probably not original while the diamond parts are. It seems that this was done some time ago and the resultant earrings are extremely lovely. It may also be that they were always earrings but were re-wired at some point as the wires often did get bent and broken.

Morning, noon, and night, a pair of earrings like these need to see all hours of the day. And you have just the ears to do it!

Snowflakes shaped like tiny glittering stars stuck to the pebbled carriageway that was made for horses, currently holding ladies and gentlemen. She almost looked like all the rest, with their flawlessly powered faces and up-dos, and yet there was something else about her. It was a thrilling night, with golden candlelight, wine in tall glasses, and ballroom dancers. A fervor hung in the air and ladies fanned themselves as the men stepped outside into the fresh winter breeze. Some say it was her graceful dance steps that caught his attention. Others say it was the way she laughed at his anecdotes, how her eyes crinkled in delight. I say it was the earrings dangling from her ears, the way they shed golden specks of light onto her freckled cheeks. No one can help being transfixed by a pair of golden earrings like these. Not even a prince.

Ivy clings, it grows along walls, over stones, up trees, and inches toward the sky, forming a unity with its sturdy base. Jewelry with an ivy motif was given as a representation of fidelity, friendship and eternity during the 1800s. In Britain, ivy was called, “lovestone”, named for the way it clung to stone walls.

These antique French ivy leaf gold earrings were handcrafted around 1890 in 18 karat gold. Each drop earring features a round creamy white pearl at the top with a long drop link chain that leads to an ivy leaf shaped drop dotted with another round pearl. A rose cut diamond can be found at the very top of each earring, adding glimmer to an elegant pair of earrings. Each earring measures 42 x 11 mm and together they weigh 2.1 grams. They bear the eagle head hallmark, indicating they are made in 18 karat gold and they were essayed in Paris.

These earrings have a back to front closure which works just as it sounds. The earring goes through the ear from behind and clips in the front. They are extremely comfortable to wear, but it can take a little time getting used to putting them on. The key is to wiggle the earring instead of trying to just push it through. Don't be surprised if you get hooked on this style of closure once you get used to it!
