Cocktail parties, opera balls, film premieres and grand receptions - with the end of the immediate post-war period, scarcity and the need to rebuild, social life also picked up again throughout Europe. At the same time, there was a renewed demand for elegant jewellery. This pair of enchanting stud earrings dates from this period of new beginnings. The front sides of the studs are made from luxurious platinum and take the form of large flowers. They are richly set with 24 fine octagonal diamonds and a shimmering Akoya pearl each, creating a symphony of white light reflections. Glittering millegrains enrich the design and lend it an ethereal lightness. This goldsmithing technique is typical of the first half of the 20th century and was still popular in the early post-war period. It was not until the 1960s that millegrains gradually fell out of use, eventually disappearing almost completely. Practical white gold studs and backings hold the flowers securely to the ear. The pair came to us here in Berlin. It is in very good condition and is a luxurious piece of evening jewelry typical of the 1950s!
