Edwardian Amethyst Drop Earrings in 9ct Gold – Antique Openwork Floral Design

1900 - 1920
Description

A charming pair of Edwardian amethyst drop earrings, beautifully crafted in 9ct yellow gold with an elegant openwork design.

Each earring is formed as an elongated oval, delicately worked with a double openwork frame and attractive teardrop-shaped motifs. At the centre sits a pretty circular arrangement of tiny flowerhead details, giving the earrings a wonderfully feminine and intricate appearance.

Two round faceted amethysts are set to each earring — one positioned at the centre of the floral design and a second suspended freely beneath. The four amethysts display an attractive soft lilac-purple colour and catch the light beautifully as the earrings move.

The delicate open construction gives these earrings an impressive appearance while remaining light and comfortable to wear.

Crafted in 9ct yellow gold, the reverse of both earrings is marked 9ct, and they retain their traditional shepherd's hook fittings for pierced ears.

A particularly pretty pair of antique earrings, combining delicate goldwork with the soft colour of amethyst.

Edwardian jewellery, originating between 1901 and 1910, is characterised by light openwork metalwork, delicate floral or garland motifs, and the prominent use of gemstones set in yellow gold or platinum.

Edwardian drop earrings were frequently crafted from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold and platinum, set with colored gemstones such as amethysts, peridots, and sapphires, often combined with seed pearls.

Authentic Edwardian pieces feature hand-finished openwork, fine bezel or claw gemstone settings, period-correct wire fittings, and historical purity hallmarks such as 9ct or 375.

Antique amethyst drop earrings can be paired with contemporary eveningwear or tailored clothing to introduce a subtle touch of colour and intricate historical metalwork.

Clean gently using a soft-bristled brush and warm water with mild soap, avoiding chemical cleansers, and store in a fabric-lined box to protect the gemstones from abrasion.
