An utterly enchanting pair of Belle Époque diamond bow and ruby target drop earrings, dating to c.1900–1910 and lovingly repurposed from a larger antique festoon necklace.
Wonderfully romantic and full of old-world charm, these exquisite earrings feature beautifully sculpted three-loop ribbon bows, adorned with delicate diamond-set detailing and centred with sparkling old-cut diamonds displaying early transitional-cut characteristics.
Suspended beneath each bow is a gorgeous articulated ruby and diamond target drop, featuring a vibrant circular halo of rich raspberry-red rubies surrounding a beautiful old-cut central diamond.
The combination of vivid rubies, sparkling antique diamonds and wonderfully intricate craftsmanship is simply irresistible! The beautifully detailed bows lend an air of timeless elegance, while the articulated target drops add a delightful touch of movement, catching the light with every turn.
Beautifully crafted with silver fronts and gold backs testing at approximately 12ct, these fabulous antique elements have been thoughtfully converted into earrings and fitted with 18ct gold shepherd's hooks, preserving their original Belle Époque beauty while giving them a wonderful new lease of life.
A truly captivating pair of antique earrings, combining two of our favourite motifs: romantic diamond-set ribbon bows and vibrant ruby targets. Utterly feminine, wonderfully wearable and brimming with antique charm!
