Exquisite Art Deco-Style Earrings with Old-Cut Diamonds, From Our Workshop

White flames blaze from sparkling diamonds. A large old-cut diamond adorns the center of each design. Flames burst forth from them—flames of light. They flicker upward, shoot out to the sides, and swirl downward in curling arcs. At the very top, at the tip, another diamond sparkles. It forms the transition to the ear hook—and thus this arrangement of light becomes a pair of earrings. Earrings from the Art Deco era are hard to find today. They were popular throughout the ages, as their elegant, cool look remained timelessly modern. At the same time, these earrings—more than any other piece of jewellery—embodied the new image of women in the 1920s: worn with a bob, they were, as it were, the hallmark of the modern, emancipated woman. We had this pair of earrings crafted in our workshop so that we can always offer earrings that match Art Deco rings and necklaces. The pair was set with antique diamonds from the 1920s and adorned with fine shadow gaps and milgrains, following historical designs. The pendants are crafted from white gold, while the ear hooks and leverbacks are made of yellow gold. This pairing of metal colors was a common combination at the beginning of the 20th century. In crafting these earrings, we prioritized sustainable materials. The high-karat gold comes from older pieces of jewellery, as do the diamonds, which we discovered here in Berlin. The two large diamonds are cut in the old-style diamond cut of the late 19th century. Together, they weigh 0.68 ct and are accompanied by two independent appraisals. Now they can shine once again—like the stars above Kurfürstendamm.
