A feminine pair of pearl and diamond earrings. These earrings feature two freshwater cultured pearl drops attached to diamond-set foliate caps. The sparkling foliate caps are surmounted by round and marquise shape tops, the length and intricacy of which give the earrings an ethereal quality. The design of the earrings is reminiscent of Edwardian period jewellery designs, which often featured delicate foliate motifs and millegrain borders. Such jewellery was deeply intricate and served as a move against machine-made pieces, drawing inspiration from the 18th century. These earrings would be perfect for a bride to wear on her wedding day.
