Black and white, light and shadow, day and night: these contrasts have accompanied us through every era of jewellery history. This combination was particularly popular in Art Deco, but even the neo-classical style of the Empire period had a weakness for the brilliance of these non-colours. Here, this classic combination has inspired a whole new pair of earrings. Because every now and then, on our forays through antique stores, auction houses and flea markets, we find fragments or parts of antique pieces of jewelry that don't seem wearable as they are, but which we can't pass by. We hand these objects over to our goldsmith. The goldsmith is always delighted with these little finds, as he can let his imagination run wild and give them a new lease of life. In the case of these earrings, we have used parts of an antique brooch with beautiful old-cut diamonds and oriental pearls in their original settings for a new creation. The diamonds in the so-called Old European Cut with a total weight of around 0.30 ct were cut in the years around 1900. They are set in square settings and are accompanied by small white oriental pearls. Beneath them are movably suspended drops of shiny black tourmaline which we discovered at our gemstone cutter in Idar-Oberstein. The precious gemstones can be worn as earrings with yellow gold hooks. The result is an elegant pair of drop earrings that not only combines black and white, but also old and new.
