These are the sort of earrings that belong beneath the low lights of a jazz club, glowing warmly against bare shoulders while a champagne coupe trembles softly beside the dance floor. Their geometry is unmistakably Art Deco, sharp and architectural, yet softened by the deep ember glow of polished carnelian. The contrast between the fiery red stones and the cool silver set with glittering marcasites creates exactly the sort of drama the 1920s adored. One can imagine them worn by a woman with waved hair and long gloves stepping out into the electric excitement of a modern new world.
Dating to about 1920, these earrings are crafted in silver and set with two rich carnelian panels measuring 13.7 millimeters by 11.8 millimeters by 2 millimeters each. The earrings measure 60.3 millimeters long, 12.7 millimeters across, and stand 4.7 millimeters from front to back. Together they weigh 7.5 grams. The intricate silver framework is accented throughout with sparkling marcasites that emphasize the elegant linear design. Though unmarked, the earrings test as silver. Originally made as screw back earrings, they have been thoughtfully updated to posts for comfortable modern wear.
There is a sophistication to these earrings that feels eternally chic. The elongated shape flatters beautifully, drawing the eye downward with graceful movement, while the carnelian glows like captured candlelight. They are wonderfully wearable, but they also carry the unmistakable confidence of the Art Deco era, when jewelry became sleek, daring, and unapologetically glamorous.
