{"product_id":"emerald-diamond-gold-drop-earrings-1950s","title":"EMERALD, DIAMOND \u0026 GOLD DROP EARRINGS, 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eROMANCE IS IN THE AIR: WITH AN ENCHANTING PAIR of drop earrings with large polished emeralds, elaborate diamond-set flowers and geometric links in 18k gold, a story of love is being told. Long, dramatic and powerfully feminine, these jewels turn every gesture into a loving display of colour and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimated to have been created in the 1950s, the earrings retain the fantasy of Art Déco while introducing the architecture of Midcentury fine jewellery. Floral surmounts centred on oval cabochon emeralds lead into articulated diamond links and angular caps set with baguette and round-cut stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo generous pear-shaped emerald drops move freely. Their green surfaces contrast with the brilliance of the diamonds and the warmth of yellow gold. The result is ornate yet so disciplined: It takes much rigour and talent to blend flowers, geometry and movement in one design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWE LOVE THESE EARRINGS for the tension between softness and strength. Their emerald drops feel sensual and organic, while the baguette diamonds give them precision and authority. They have the presence of serious collector jewellery, yet their movement makes them wonderfully alive when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTYLE: Lift your hair and allow the drop to drop. Wear them against primary colours for maximum contrast or bring out the green against pastel hues. Their romantic character complements evening style beautifully, although it becomes even more compelling when offset against cleaner, more masculine clothes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hidein-fp\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Price Analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAN EXCELLENT PRICE because the gemstone content, gold weight and complex construction place these earrings well above their asking price in today’s market. Replacing their materials and workmanship would be exceptionally difficult at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• CRAFTSMANSHIP: This is a jewel made by a leading European fine jewellery workshop. The design moves from sculpted floral surmounts through articulated diamond links to geometrically constructed caps and freely suspended emerald drops. This combination requires accomplished stone-setting, engineering and goldsmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PERIOD \u0026amp; DESIGN VALUE: Estimated to date from the 1950s, the earrings unite Art Déco fantasy with Midcentury volume. Their dramatic 7cm length and unusual combination of flowers, geometry and movement give them far greater distinction than conventional emerald-and-diamond drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• SECONDARY MARKET VALUE: Dealer-market comparisons for significantly smaller emerald-and-diamond earrings are currently positioned above this price. One antique pair containing 2.65ct of emeralds and 2.70ct of diamonds is offered at £16,500, while another pair with 3.40ct of certified emeralds and 1.68ct of diamonds is listed at $28,000. These are asking prices rather than achieved auction results, but they strongly support the value offered here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• CONDITION \u0026amp; SELLER VALUE: Offered in very good condition by a JWL Trusted Dealer in Italy, with a certificate available upon request, the earrings benefit from professional presentation and the opportunity for further verification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PRICE VALUE: Even allowing for unsigned authorship and the need to confirm emerald identity, treatment and exact gemstone weights, there is considerable room beneath comparable dealer positioning. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a pair of high-impact emerald-and-diamond earrings with important material presence and exceptional craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRAND \u0026amp; PERIOD: Unsigned Continental European workshop, possibly Italian, estimated c. 1950s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 18k yellow and white gold; two oval cabochon emeralds, measuring approx. 11–13mm; two pear-shaped, cabochon emerald drops, measuring approx. 28–32mm long; estimated combined emerald weight 35–55ct; approx. 90–110 round brilliant, marquise and baguette-cut diamonds, estimated weight 8–10ct total, set across floral clusters, articulated links and architectural drop caps.
