Edwardian 18ct Gold & Silver Cluster Earrings set with Green Garnets & Diamonds

343Y
120 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful pair of cluster earrings that were made circa 1900-1910. They have been set with green garnets within  a circle of well matched bright white old mine cut diamonds. Green garnets or Demantoid garnets as they are known, are wonderful stones and are a lovely apple green colour. Although garnets have been known since ancient times, the demantoid variety was not discovered until 1868 in Russia’s western central Ural Mountains. Miners were immediately stunned by the highly refractive nature of the gem material. They began comparing it to diamond and referred to it as “demantoid”, from the French “demant” meaning diamond. The reason is obvious, with its high brilliance and dispersion. These bright apple green stones are comparatively rare and very expensive, so we always try to source original pieces from the Edwardian period as with these lovely cluster earrings.
