The fashion for earrings is closely linked not only to changes in hairstyles, but also to social changes! Around 1870, for example, very long, eye-catching gold earrings were worn with curls pinned back at the nape of the neck. By the 1890s, it was once again considered indelicate to wear long earrings and the most that was worn were small diamond drops on the ear - perhaps because such jewellery would have looked too intrusive with the strict, pinned-up hairstyles of those years. Around 1910, long earrings came back into fashion - and worn with the emancipated bob of the Art Deco era, long earrings even became a real statement! However, these long Art Déco earrings have become rare today: Be it because they were and are worn so much and with such pleasure, or for the simple reason that over a century now, an earring from such a pair has often been lost. In the case of this pair, a watch bracelet from the same period has been repurposed so that its diamond-set elements, together with a pearl, have now become luxurious earrings. More than one carat of diamonds set the platinum, which is geometrically structured and interspersed with fine sawing work and millegrains. The slightly grayish pearls with a subtle rosy luster subtly break up the monochrome. What is particularly beautiful is that the individual elements are flexible due to their original function as a bracelet, so that the earrings do not hang rigidly but follow the natural movements of the wearer. We discovered the earrings as they are in London. They were recently created there using the antique fragments from the turbulent 1920s.
