Edwardian Emerald & Diamond Drop Earrings
A pair of antique Edwardian emerald and old cut diamond drop earrings, beautifully preserved in what may well have been their original fitted box.
Each earring features a luminous green emerald surrounded by a delicate cluster of old cut diamonds, suspended beneath a further sparkling diamond. We particularly love the unusual circular design, which reminds us of a ship’s wheel, a beautiful symbol of guidance and a reminder to steer towards your own true course.
Emeralds have been treasured for thousands of years and have long been associated with love, renewal, hope and new beginnings. Their vivid green colour makes them particularly symbolic of growth and the promise of what lies ahead.
The old cut diamonds bring that unmistakable antique sparkle, softly catching the light around the rich green emeralds, while the elegant articulated drops allow the earrings to move beautifully when worn. Romantic, symbolic and wonderfully evocative of the Edwardian era, this treasure is made all the more special by the survival by the fitted antique box.
'By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more'
~ Lord Byron
