Antique earrings

Antique earrings are worn on the earlobe as studs, sleeper earrings or articulated drops. Their construction depends on a balance between the weight of the decorative element, the fastening mechanism and the movement of any suspended components. The shape of the fittings and the arrangement of the stones influence how they sit and how comfortable they feel.

The current stock at Satti Jewelry includes pieces from the Victorian and contemporary periods. This selection allows comparisons between different silhouettes, settings and technical approaches. When choosing a pair, consider its proportions and the consistency between its components.

Hallmarks can provide information about the metal and its fineness. Reading them requires attention to their legibility and wear on the surrounding surface. Old stone cuts also deserve particular attention. The arrangement of the facets and their proportions influence how the stones reflect light.

Condition is assessed through signs of wear, visible repairs and the security of the stone settings. Fittings, hinges and clasps are further points to examine. These details help you assess how the earrings can be worn and what precautions may be useful for everyday wear.

Satti Jewelry offers complimentary insured delivery. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece.
