The movement is particularly beautiful when worn, allowing the diamonds to catch the light while the emeralds provide an extraordinary flash of vivid green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe craftsmanship is exceptional. Viewed from the side and reverse, the platinum settings reveal fine engraved and pierced detailing, the sort of workmanship that is so characteristic of the very best early 20th-century French jewellery. It is this attention to detail, much of it almost hidden when the earrings are worn, that gives them such refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emeralds have now been independently examined and certified by Gemmological Certification Services (GCS), London, who have confirmed that both stones are natural emeralds originating from Zambia. Each cushion-cut emerald has an estimated weight of approximately 1.20 carats, giving a combined estimated emerald weight of 2.40 carats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laboratory report also records a moderate amount of oil in the fissures of both emeralds, a traditional clarity enhancement commonly encountered in natural emeralds. Their colour is remarkable: bright, saturated and full of life, with the natural inclusions and individuality that make these gemstones so fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of cool platinum, softly luminous natural pearls, bright old-cut diamonds and intensely green emeralds is extraordinarily successful. There is a delicacy to the construction, yet the earrings have real presence on the ear, with just enough movement to make them feel wonderfully alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are quite simply some of the finest emerald earrings we have had. Romantic, beautifully proportioned and exceptionally well made, they embody everything one hopes to find in early 20th-century French jewellery.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57612271583605,"sku":"204M","price":11700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/early-20th-century-platinum-natural-pearl-diamond-emerald-drop-earrings-3323280.jpg?v=1792606999","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/fr-ie\/products\/early-20th-century-platinum-natural-pearl-diamond-emerald-drop-earrings","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
