Description

Vienna experienced a cultural boom in the second half of the 19th century. As early as 1870, the population exceeded the one million mark and the city was fundamentally redesigned and modernized. Since then, the metropolis on the Danube has been one of the most important European centers of the fine arts. The jewellery from Vienna in the decades before the turn of the century is particularly magnificent. The imperial and royal capital was populated by a wealthy bourgeoisie who loved balls and social events and placed great value on art and beautiful things. First-class jewelry was an indispensable accessory for the ladies of the time. The settings of these earrings date from that era. Their hallmarks prove that they were made in Vienna and they came to us directly from Vienna - but without their original diamonds. Apparently, someone had set the diamonds in another piece of jewelry over the course of time. The earrings themselves, however, were undamaged! We wanted to bring the beautiful earrings back to life and had four modern brilliant-cut diamonds set in the settings. The large diamonds shine in untinted, fine white + (Top Wesselton, F), with great fire and light and only have small inclusions of graphite in them. Their quality is recorded in a separate grading report. Two smaller diamonds lead over to the ear stud. The gemstones are held in polished silver settings with gold plating, typical of the period. The design is simple and focuses entirely on the gemstones: Just as earrings were worn in Vienna in the 1890s. An independent appraisal is included with the earrings.
