In previous generations, people who wanted to own jewellery in line with the latest fashion rarely went to a jeweler to buy a finished piece. Far more often, they went to a goldsmith to have a new piece of jewelry made according to their own ideas and in exchange with the craftsman. We can observe a typical procedure of the time time and again: Instead of creating new pieces completely from scratch, existing rings, brooches and necklaces were often incorporated and reused in parts. This resulted in pieces that were as traditional as they were modern. We also followed this approach when designing these earrings. The pair was created from a brooch from around 1860, which came to us in fragments and was then rebuilt into these earrings in our workshop. The antique elements take the form of two curved arches, each with a small flower in the middle. They are richly set with a total of 70 sparkling diamonds in a cushion-shaped old cut, the so-called "old mine cut". The fronts are made of dark patinated silver, while the backs are plated with gold. In total, we see around 3.40 ct of fine old diamonds here. We have fitted these antique elements with high-carat gold bails and suspended a natural green tourmaline in a drop-shaped briolette cut. The tourmalines impress with their vivid inclusion pattern, which identifies them as natural products. The pair of earrings created from antique elements delights with its beautiful movement, the sparkle of its precious diamonds and its pleasant green splash of color.
