A pair of early 20th-century Belle Époque earrings crafted in platinum and set with natural saltwater pearls and old-cut diamonds. The refined symmetry and delicate millegrain detailing are characteristic of Belle Époque jewellery, blending elegance with the lightweight articulation that defined the era. The diamond-set arches and tapered lines reflect classic Belle Époque design, while the articulated drops and natural pearl clusters enhance movement and luminosity. Ideal for collectors seeking authentic Belle Époque earrings, natural pearl earrings, or antique natural pearl drop earrings.
The Belle Époque period (c.1890–1915) marked a high point in European jewellery artistry. Platinum allowed jewellers to create intricate structures with precise pavé work, giving pieces a distinctive airy lightness found in fine examples of Belle Époque diamond and pearl drop earrings.
