Belle Époque Coral Rose Drop Earrings | 18ct Gold & Diamond | c.1910

Exquisitely carved coral roses bloom beneath delicate Belle Époque diamond-set bows in this romantic pair of drop earrings, crafted circa 1910.

Set in 18-carat gold, the design balances softness and sophistication - with hand-carved coral detailing, diamond accents, and a timeless silhouette.

The earrings measure approximately 4cm in length, with each rose roughly 1.1cm in diameter.

The coral is likely of Italian origin, carved in the renowned workshops of Torre del Greco, while the overall design - light, feminine and symmetrical - suggests it was made for the French market.

It’s a perfect marriage of Italian craftsmanship and French elegance.

Originally worn by a woman of refined taste in the Belle Époque era - someone who appreciated the delicacy of fine carving and the subtle glamour of diamonds - these earrings would have complemented soft hairstyles, silk blouses, and formal afternoon dress.

Today, their romance still holds, but they can be worn with irreverence and ease: paired with a bare neck, a white shirt, or even leather. Their femininity is so distilled and deliberate that it becomes a kind of modern cool - romantic, yes, but also sharp, knowing, and entirely individual.

They are approximately 4 cm long and the rose is 1.1cm diameter.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
