In previous generations, people who wanted to own jewellery in line with the latest fashion rarely went to a jeweler to buy a finished piece. It was far more common to go to a goldsmith to have a new piece of jewelry made according to one's own ideas and in exchange with the craftsman. We can observe a typical procedure of the time time and again: Instead of creating new pieces completely from scratch, existing rings, brooches and necklaces were often incorporated, rebuilt or reused in parts. In this way, pieces of jewelry were created that continued the history of their own family and could be as traditional as they were modern. We see such pieces of jewelry here: a pair of earrings made from precious materials. Presumably, it has always been a pair of earrings, but it has been modernized and modified in the course of its history. We see two oval, star-cut natural sapphires weighing a total of approx. 1.10 ct in gold frames, set between two diamond-set bars. A total of 16 old-cut diamonds, the so-called "Old Mine Cut", totaling approximately 1.42 ct, adorn the precious swings created in this way, as the individual pieces are mounted with beautiful movement. Warm, gleaming gold with a platinum display side forms the basis. We assume that the sapphires in their golden frames are later additions to the diamond elements from the early 20th century. The earwires appear to have been replaced at an earlier date. We found the pair here in Berlin.
