Belle Époque Diamond & Pearl Earrings | Platinum & Gold Grape Basket Design | French c.1900s

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.

Ideal for a collector of rare early 20th century jewellery, or a bride looking for a pair of truly special and romantic old world glamour earrings.
