Edwardian Paste Drop Earrings

№. 308

STORY: 

Edwardian jewellery is known for it's delicate and feminine designs, characterised by a very white esthetic - white stones in white settings. These earrings speak to the designs of the time with beautiful fresh white paste stones set into almost invisible silver (white) settings. 

It has been impossible to catch the beauty of the sparkle of these earrings in photos, so I have uploaded a video which displays their pure radiance. The crystal stone and stone cutting technique have produced a pair of earrings that glow as opposed to sparkle.
