These Edwardian Arts and Crafts earrings date from around 1910 and are made of solid silver and moonstone. The composition includes polished silver metal, clear translucent white cabochon moonstones, and delicate leaf foliage motifs arranged in cascading clusters with claw settings and screwback fastenings. The photograph also shows a vintage jewellery box with a dark black velvet lining, a textured blue and white patterned outer trim, and a small brass-coloured latch. Each earring measures 4 cm high, 2 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep. Items of this type are worn as personal jewellery accessories to complement outfits for special occasions or daily wear. They attach securely to the earlobe via mechanical screwback mechanisms, allowing individuals without pierced ears to wear dangling drop earrings comfortably. The silver metalwork displays a bright reflective surface, while the moonstones exhibit a soft internal glow and rounded domed profiles. These pieces offer a traditional floral and botanical aesthetic typical of early twentieth-century metalwork design.

FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement emphasised handcrafted metalwork, naturalistic foliage motifs, and untreated cabochon gemstones, rejecting mass-manufactured industrial designs in favour of artistic craftsmanship.

Craftsmen frequently utilised silver rather than gold, paired with semi-precious stones such as cabochon moonstones, mother of pearl, turquoise, and hand-cut stones set in claw or bezel mountings.

Authentic pieces display hand-worked silver surfaces, unpolished natural cabochon stones, organic floral or leaf settings, and period-appropriate screwback or wire closures.

These drop earrings complement contemporary tailored evening wear or minimal daywear by providing a subtle shimmering focal point that contrasts with plain textiles.

Clean silver surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding harsh liquid chemical polishers or ultrasonic cleaners that could damage delicate moonstones.
