Antique Cluster Earrings, ca 1830
Our Notes
As with button earrings, these beautifully dimensional earrings probably began life as part of another piece of jewelry, perhaps a hair or bodice ornament, that aged out of style and was refashioned into earrings. Formed from raised layers are rose cut diamond embellished petals; they are remarkable from all angels.
Emily approaches repurposing on a case-by-case basis. While she is not a fan of taking pristine period pieces apart, she does like to find wonderful examples of craftsmanship that has been thoughtfully reimagined into pieces that can be enjoyed today. She does not know with certainty what the condition of the original jewel was, or precisely when these elements became what they are today, but without a doubt, they make outstanding earrings.

Care
As our jewelry is worn, patinas will evolve, further personalizing them to each collector. Due to the nature of foiled jewelry, care should be taken in order to keep Larkspur & Hawk jewelry from becoming harmed. A few tips:
- Remove jewelry when applying lotions, soaps and perfume
- Remove jewelry before immersing hands in cleaning solvents or liquids
- Please note that oxidation may eventually wear off of rings, then return naturally
