Description

Very pretty early 20th century silver screw back earrings studded with twinkling marcasites and lined with a crescent of royal blue enamel. Possibly French.

The earrings are supplied with optional antique gold-blocked navy blue box. The earrings fit nicely into the box, and they came to me together, but although likely of a similar vintage they did not originate together. If you don't wish to buy the antique box, pay £195 at checkout, the earrings will be sent in a new ribbon-tied box.

• Condition: In excellent antique condition.

• Hallmarks/stamps: Stamped STERLING and also bearing non-UK hallmarks on each wire.

• Fixing: Screw backs.

• Era: Estimated Edwardian to Art Deco.

• Size: 3.5cm total drop x 1.9cm wide.

• Weight: 5.1g.

FAQs

Art Deco jewellery, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric shapes, stylised symmetry, and the use of contrasting materials such as brightly coloured enamel alongside sparkling marcasite and silver.

These pieces typically utilised sterling silver or silver-plated base metals, handset faceted marcasite stones, and vitreous enamel, featuring threaded mechanical screwback closures designed for non-pierced ears.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-specific closures like screwbacks or early barrel clips, hand-set faceted pyrite marcasites rather than modern glues, and characteristic metallic patina or hallmarks consistent with early 20th-century manufacturing.

Pair these earrings with minimalist evening wear or tailored contemporary blazers to let the geometric lines and deep enamel tones stand out as a focal point.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to protect the delicate marcasite settings and vitreous enamel; avoid liquid jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemical solvents.
