Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian:Masterpieces/Ultimate/Earrings/Sapphire/Ruby/Pearl
Well, I have found some of the finest jewels in my career over the past year or so, but there is a point where even the term "masterpiece" falls short of the importance of certain jewels. This pair of Georgian gemstone earrings is such as an example.

Dating to ca. 1790, this is a rare and beautiful example of an early diamond ring! This Georgian-era ring is set with a center table cut diamond of approx. 15 pts., although it "faces up" much larger. This table-cut stone pre-dates the ring by at least 100 years, as table cut diamonds virtually disappeared after 1700, and ladies would have even the smallest of their precious stones re-set into more fashionable jewelry.

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian:Pinchbeck/Paste
Dating to c.1820-1830, this fabulous pair of earrings are truly beautiful, and make a grand statement! I usually frown on "marriages" in antique jewelry, but this is a very rare exception! Over 180 years ago, these jewels began life as a pair of matching bracelet clasps.
