FAQs

Belle Epoque jewellery, prominent from the 1890s through 1914, is characterised by delicate garland-style metalwork, ribbon bow motifs, and combinations of pearls with diamonds or paste stones.

Earrings from this era typically feature silver-topped gold settings to enhance stone brilliance, set with paste or diamonds, alongside natural pearls and screwback or hook fittings.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit dual-metal construction such as silver over gold, hand-cut paste gems, openwork filigree, and period-appropriate screwback fastenings introduced in the late 19th century.

These drop earrings can be paired with contemporary eveningwear or simple minimalist tailoring to highlight the detailed bow motifs and pearl drops.

To care for paste and pearls, avoid moisture and chemical cleansers which damage foil backings and pearl nacre; clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth.
