Story

One of the many marvels of later Georgian jewelry lies in their unmistakable presence without the associated weight.

Characteristic of the 1790s through the 1840s, jewelers invented numerous techniques to make do with a little less yet appear more substantial. Those were days of constant war and strife, gold in increasing demand for military efforts.

Yet the gaiety and light coloration of these spellbinding earrings only speaks of joy and femininity. In repoussé 15k gold, they fit perfectly within the context of jewelry history of the 1830s.

Long, slimmer earrings complimented the decolletage necklace and up swept hair of the age. These are curvaceous and shapely with colors such as powder blue and pink, buttercup yellow, hints of spring green, royal blue, and even black and white.

Here Swiss enamel is employed to its finest. Not always created in Switzerland, this polychrome enamel is believed to originate in that country. However, many craftsmen schooled in this art moved to other jewelry centers in Europe.

Both front and reverse are enameled so that from any angle, these are just as beautiful.

Note: Repoussé techniques start with thin sheets of metal that are pushed out from the back into various three dimensional shapes.
