Edwardian Aquamarine & Seed Pearl Drop Earrings. Antique Pear Shaped Dangles in 18 Carat Yellow Gold.
Add to WishlistA lovely pair of aquamarine and pearl drop earrings dating to the Edwardian era. These earrings are pierced and feature a squared shape open link leading to a small cultured seed pearl. Dangling from the bottom is a bezel or rubover set pear cut aquamarine. The aquamarine is lined in milgrain beading and is a pale blue in colour with greenish undertones. These earrings are articulated in three places, between two beads at the very top, and on either side of the long open link. This allows them to move freely, framing the wearer's face.
