Edwardian 9ct Gold Peridot and Pearl Day-to-night Earrings

1900 - 1920
Description

A rare pair of early 20th-century English earrings, designed to be worn at two different lengths. Each earring is set with a bright round-cut peridot in a milgrain-edged setting, above an elegant articulated drop set with small pearls and a second peridot. The lower drops are detachable, allowing the earrings to be worn in a shorter, more understated style or at their full length.

The lively green stones and delicate pearls make an attractive Edwardian combination, while the adaptable design gives the pair excellent wearability today.

The earrings test as 9ct gold (375). They are in excellent antique condition, with no losses, replacements or restorations.

Dimensions: 38 mm long including the ear wire; 35 mm excluding it. Shortened length 26 mm. Upper peridots approx. 5 mm diameter; lower detachable drops approx. 7 mm.

Weight: 2.72 g the pair.

Date and origin: Edwardian, early 20th century, England.

These Edwardian 9ct gold drop earrings date from the early 20th century in England. Each pair of yellow gold earrings displays round-cut peridots in bezel settings alongside seed pearl accents within openwork drops, featuring milgrain-edged settings and articulated joins in green and gold tones. The lower drops detach so the earrings can be worn at different lengths. The photograph shows a dark blue velvet-lined box interior with a hinged lid, gold-toned metal clasps on the earrings, and white flowers with green leaves arranged around the container. Measuring 38 mm long including the ear wire and 35 mm excluding it, with a shortened length of 26 mm, these earrings bring period style to modern wardrobes. They work well for daily wear or evening events, easily transitioning between lengths to suit different outfits. The pieces test as 9ct gold and show antique condition without losses, replacements, or restorations.

Edwardian jewellery produced between 1901 and 1910 is recognised for light openwork designs, garland motifs, and the frequent pairing of coloured gemstones such as peridot and amethyst with seed pearls set in yellow gold or platinum.

Jewellers during this era commonly used 9ct or 15ct yellow gold alongside platinum, incorporating faceted natural gemstones and delicate organic accents like cultured or seed pearls.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate hallmarks, precise hand-finished rub-over or bezel settings, articulated drop construction, and traditional hook or screw-back fastenings.

Articulated gemstone drops offer a historic accent to modern evening wear or tailored day wear, providing a touch of subtle colour and classical proportion.

Clean gently using a soft dry or slightly dampened cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, liquid submersion, and ultrasonic cleaners that can loosen delicate seed pearls and damage settings.
