Description

These stunning 19th century earrings are a very rare find! Each clip features a beautifully detailed figure with a square-necked dress or tunic with puffed sleeves, carrying what looks like some kind of lyre or harp - a shape echoed by the shape of the main frame of the earring. The detail and modelling of the figures continues around the back. The costumes still bear traces of their original gilding and the turquoise-blue stone in each clip is complemented by a dangling blood-red cabochon drop beneath.

The earrings are in very good antique condition with normal surface wear for their age and nice snappy clips. The gilding on the clips is worn in places and under magnification it looks as though the enamel may have been touched up.

The earrings are hallmarked, though the marks are not fully legible, and bear the stamp BM on the back. The body of the earring is solid silver, the clip is a gold-coloured metal.

Size: Approximately 3.5 x 2cm.

FAQs

Austro Hungarian revival jewellery is characterised by elaborate architectural designs, colourful enamel work, and the use of foil-backed paste stones or cabochons mimicking precious gems, heavily influenced by Renaissance and Baroque motifs.

These pieces typically feature low-grade or high-grade silver, often with gilt or oxidised finishes, polychrome enamel accents, and hand-set paste stones secured with tightly closed settings.

Authenticity is determined by hand-soldered components, traditional European hallmarks, natural oxidisation of the silver, and the distinct characteristics of hand-cut foil-backed paste stones rather than modern synthetic alternatives.

These statement pieces pair effectively with minimalist evening attire to allow the ornate craftsmanship and historic character to serve as the focal point of an outfit.

Store items in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment, avoid exposure to moisture, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, and clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth without using liquid jewellery dips.
