Edwardian Green Garnet, Diamond & Natural Pearl Drop Earrings

Written by Olly Gerrish

A rare pair of 15ct gold and silver drop earrings that were made circa 1900-1910. Each earring has been set with a beautiful garnet. Around the green garnets are old mine cut diamonds with a diamond above and three smaller diamonds below. The pearls are natural saltwater and are beautifully matched. The proper name for green garnet is “demantoid” garnet. 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 as they are no longer mined. In the early 1900s they were a celebrated stone and items of jewellery were set with these beautiful stones.

These earrings are accompanied with a gemmological certificate that guarantees the pearls are natural saltwater pearls.
