These earrings carry the 56 zolotnik hallmark—an authentic pre-Revolution Russian gold standard—placing them firmly in the era of graceful, court-inspired jewelry.
The design is light, feminine, and full of movement. A delicate ribbon bow rests above a laurel garland, finished with a suspended old European-cut diamond that sways gently with the wearer. The diamonds (approximately 8.00 total carats) are hand-cut in the old style, each one catching the light softly and naturally.
Their scale, at 2.5 inches, gives them both elegance and presence—refined, but absolutely striking when worn.
