Antique silver and gold drop earrings set with genuine diamonds and citrines as well as green paste (glass). Made circa 1890 - 1900 India. A little over 2 inches in length. Like much Victorian jewellery, these earrings are made with both silver and gold elements. They consist of a series of stylised shapes, combining the beautiful Indian sensibility of elegant curves and geometric forms. The different parts, made of silver, are connected via gold loops, resulting in swinging movement with every move of the wearer. The bottom is an inverse flower or bell shape, especially popular in North India. All parts are set with genuine old cut diamonds and highlighted with green stones, in immiation of emeralds (but test as glass). The bottom of the flower has a ring of faceted pear-shaped citrines that are later, modern replacements. Good condition. Good antique Mughal / Indian jewellery combines the wonders of ages gone by with amazing design and delicacy executed by outstanding craftsmen and is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain as it grows in appreciation throughout the world.
