Earring fashions have always reflected women's hairstyles and social sensibilities. Around 1870, for example, very long, eye-catching gold earrings were worn with curls pinned back at the nape of the neck. By 1890, however, it was already considered indelicate to wear long earrings, and at most people wore small diamond drops on their ears - perhaps because such jewellery would have looked too intrusive with the strict, pinned-up hairstyles of those years. Around 1910, people started wearing long earrings again, and long earrings became a statement in the emancipated bob of the Art Deco era. However, these long Art Déco earrings have become rare today: Be it because they were worn so much and with such pleasure or simply because, over the course of a century now, an earring from such a pair has often been lost. So what to do? In the case of this pair, our goldsmiths have used a wristwatch from the same period and transformed it into a luxurious pair of earrings with modern rings made of deep black onyx. Sparkling small diamonds set the elements in cool platinum, which is geometrically structured and interspersed with bands of precisely cut blue sapphires. What is particularly beautiful is that the individual elements are connected to each other so that the earrings do not hang rigidly, but follow the natural movements of the wearer. In our workshop, we have added the ear hoops and onyxes to the antique elements. It is therefore a newly created pair of earrings that is reminiscent of Art Deco earring fashion and combines old and new elements.
