ABOUT THESE EARRINGS
Most likely of mid-20th-century Dutch origin, these scintillating old world drop earrings, measuring just over 1 1/8-inch long, are faithfully recreated in early-to-mid-19th century Georgian style. The teardrop shape dangles swing and sway with an array of softly sparkling rose-cut diamonds set in darkened silver over 14K gold, and a small cabochon ruby adorns the centers of the fancy tops. Although not quite as rare as their century-older counterparts, these ravishing, almost antique jewels seldom come around. Total diamond weight, 3.30 carats.

Georgian Jewelry
True antiques, Georgian jewels are the earliest pieces in our collection. Lovely foil-backed stones in mixed-metal settings were made to shine by candlelight over dinner and in the drawing rooms of their genteel wearers. Many pieces were made in memory of loved ones or as “memento mori”—literal reminders of mortality that Georgians saw as sophisticated, rather than morbid. While the delicacy of Georgian era settings has been replaced by more modern methods, the cuts and styles have continued to fascinate jewelry lovers.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
