Belle Époque Diamond & Pearl Earrings | French Grape Basket Design | Platinum & Gold c.1900
POA
Description
These earrings are a rare and beautifully made example of Belle Époque-era design, dating from the early 1900s, and showcase both craftsmanship and whimsy in equal measure.
Crafted in platinum and 18ct gold and marked 18CT PLAT, they are set with old-cut diamonds and fine white seed pearls arranged in the form of miniature baskets of grapes, complete with diamond-set vines and leaves.
A delicate diamond-set ribbon tops each earring, anchoring the elongated drop that leads to the three-dimensional basket.
Their length (5cm) gives them graceful movement, and despite their intricate construction, they feel light on the ear, the hallmark of expert workmanship.
These would have been worn by someone with both refinement and personality, someone unafraid to wear jewellery that speaks softly but says something unusual.
They’re playful, elegant, and deeply romantic, old-world glamour in its most wearable form.
Ideal for a collector of rare early 20th-century jewellery, or a bride looking for something truly special.
Rare, timeless, and beautifully preserved.
Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
