Antique Double-Drop Earrings, ca 1800
Our Notes
Small in scale but exceptionally rich in color, these Georgian double-drop earrings highlight the distinct jewel tones of 18th-century paste. Set in gold with fine, crimped collet settings, a stationary top oval suspends a single articulated drop that sways with movement. Each green stone is backed with metallic foil, a bench technique used by historical jewelers to reflect candlelight and give the glass a deep, emerald-like glow.
The fixed gold earwires keep the silhouette neat and close to the ear lobe. It is a quiet, well-preserved pair that illustrates how Georgian jewelers used scale and subtle articulation to bring color to life.

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
