{"product_id":"antique-art-nouveau-silver-gilt-paste-drop-earrings-c-1900","title":"Antique Art Nouveau Silver Gilt Paste Drop Earrings, c. 1900","description":"There’s a fluid elegance to these antique Art Nouveau earrings that feels unmistakably fin-de-siècle — all soft curves and intertwined lines, like ribbon caught mid-motion. Gilded silver loops fold over themselves in an organic, almost botanical rhythm, framing flashes of ruby-red paste and luminous white stones that glow like candlelight against warm metal. They feel theatrical in the best way: romantic, expressive, and just a little decadent, the sort of earrings meant for evening promenades, opera boxes, and whispered confidences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted around 1900, these earrings are made in silver with traces of original gilt, unmarked as was common for continental pieces of this period. Each earring is set with one oval red paste and one round white paste stone (red paste measuring approximately 6 x 5 x 2.4 millimeters; white paste approximately 6 x 6 x 2.7 mm). The overall drop measures about 50 mm long by 31 mm wide, with a depth of approximately 4.2 mm. Together they weigh 11.6 grams. They hang from classic wire hooks with ball terminals and move beautifully when worn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes these so compelling is their combination of softness and sparkle, sculptural without being heavy, romantic without feeling precious. They frame the face with gentle motion and old-world glow, equally at home with linen and knits or silk and velvet. A rare survivor from the dawn of the 20th century, ready once again for candlelit dinners and modern love stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer free layaway on most items purchased for full retail price, please inquire if you are interested in setting up a layaway.
