Dating to the 18th century, these double-drop earrings feature richly colored green paste stones, each backed with metallic foil to reflect light and create an emerald-like glow.
Set in finely crimped gold collets, the design pairs a stationary oval with a single articulated drop, allowing just enough movement to catch the light. A beautiful example of how Georgian jewelers used foiling, color, and subtle movement to create extraordinary effects, even on the smallest scale.
