Delicate Earrings With Aquamarine & Diamonds in Gold From Our Workshop

Description

In these earrings from our workshop, we have mounted a shimmering aquamarine in a broad frame of warm yellow gold. A small diamond adds a sparkling point of light above the aquamarine. Practical leverbacks make the earrings easy to put on and safe to wear. The drop-shaped pendant part of the earring is articulated and reflects the light in a variety of ways. The design follows the oval shape of the aquamarine and surrounds it like a frame. The resulting pendulum looks a little like a mirror or a window into a glimmering, mysterious world. We based the design of the earrings on Art Déco pieces of the 1930s. However, the combination of yellow gold and aquamarine is modern and gives the earrings a fresh, summery look. The first pair of earrings was made by our goldsmiths here in Berlin using traditional craftsmanship. We then had this pair cast in yellow gold in a small edition using an old technique in southern Germany. The diamonds and aquamarines were then set into the earrings by hand here in Berlin. The earrings are therefore unworn.

Aquamarine is the blue variety of the mineral beryl, to which the emerald also belongs. However, while emeralds have been sought-after and valued gemstones for centuries, aquamarines only became a real fashionable stone in the early 20th century. New discoveries in Brazil contributed to this, as did the introduction of electric light, as this is where aquamarine really comes into its own. Numerous publications from the early 20th century refer to this property of aquamarine: "All beryls are very brilliant in artificial light and are therefore desirable stones for the evening," wrote Helen Bartlett Bridgman in 1915, for example.
