Unique and extremely rare a pair of The End of the 19th CENTURY, A BEAUTIFUL Antique Vintage Imperial Russian F. Lorie for Fabergé Nephrite, Guilloché Enamel & Diamond Earrings The relationship between F. Lorie and the House of Fabergé was a particularly close one. The two Moscow firms operated in the same building on Kuznetsky Most, Lorie is known to have produced work for Fabergé, and in 1912 the Lorie firm became part of Fabergé’s Moscow operation. What makes this pair especially fascinating is that we have seen this design before. Several years ago, we had an almost identical pair—rose gold, diamonds and the same vivid cobalt-blue guilloché enamel caps, but finished with pearl drops. That pair already bore Fabergé house hallmarks ( shown on one of the photos). The present nephrite pair, however, bears F. Lorie marks and remains in its F. Lorie box. This gives us a fascinating glimpse into how the two firms may have worked together. We believe the nephrite earrings...

Important Belle Époque Old Mine Diamond Drop Earrings A Monumental 11.93 ctw Pair with Exceptional Face-Up Presence & Original Fitted Case The Convergence of Two Historic Eras These extraordinary articulated drop earrings represent a compelling intersection of two distinct chapters in jewellery history. The Settings: Refined platinum-and-gold work dating to the Belle Époque, circa 1900–1910. The Diamonds: Substantially earlier antique stones, individually hand-fashioned in the historic Old Mine tradition. The jewel therefore brings together the romantic character of earlier hand-cut diamonds with the sophisticated platinum craftsmanship of the early twentieth century—a particularly compelling combination for the collector of historic jewels. Monumental Scale & Exceptional Matching The two principal diamonds are accompanied by individual GIA reports, documenting precise weights of 5.01 carats (I/VS2) and 4.92 carats (J/VS2). Together, they comprise an extraordinary 9.93 carats of principal diamond weight. Unlike modern calibrated diamonds, whose proportions and facet arrangements are designed according to standardized cutting parameters, these antique stones were individually fashioned according to the character of their natural rough. Their outlines, proportions and facet architectures are therefore inherently individual. The remarkable feature here is their survival as a closely matched pair: two monumental antique diamonds approaching five carats each, with harmonious scale, outline and visual presence, preserved together in a single jewel. That combination is considerably more unusual than the existence of either stone individually. Exceptional Face-Up Presence One of the most striking qualities of the principal diamonds is their visual scale relative to their stated weights. Despite weighing approximately five carats each, both stones possess a remarkably broad and commanding face-up presence. On the ear, they appear substantially larger than their carat weights would suggest, creating the visual impact of diamonds considerably greater in weight. This generous spread is particularly apparent when worn and contributes significantly to the extraordinary presence of the earrings. The effect is one of scale without ostentation: the diamonds dominate the ear while the restrained settings allow their size, antique faceting and broad flashes of light to remain the principal focus. Refined Belle Époque Craftsmanship Each earring is surmounted by an additional antique Old Mine-cut diamond of approximately 1.00 carat, bringing the total diamond weight of the pair to approximately 11.93 carats. The earrings are executed in platinum and gold, with articulated drops allowing the principal stones to move naturally with the wearer. The restrained mixed-metal construction is characteristic of the refined jewellery aesthetic of the period. Platinum provides a discreet framework around the diamonds, while gold forms the underlying structural element. Rather than competing with the stones, the setting is deliberately elegant and understated, allowing the extraordinary scale and individual character of the antique diamonds to provide the drama. Original Fitted Period Presentation Case The earrings are accompanied by their original fitted period leather-and-velvet presentation case. The survival of the original fitted case is an important and highly desirable feature for the collector, preserving an element of the jewel's original presentation and historical context. The case and earrings together provide an unusually complete presentation of a Belle Époque jewel. A Jewel of Exceptional Historical and Gemological Significance A jewel of this magnitude—nearly ten carats concentrated in two exceptionally large matched antique diamonds, supplemented by two further approximately one-carat Old Mine diamonds—belongs unmistakably to the world of exceptional wealth and high social distinction. Large antique diamonds are encountered individually. What is considerably more unusual is the survival of two antique diamonds approaching five carats each, sufficiently harmonious in scale, outline and appearance to function as a pair. The combination would be extraordinarily difficult to recreate today. Modern diamonds can reproduce a desired outline and specification, but they cannot reproduce the individual history, hand-cut character, antique proportions and distinctive facet architecture of historic stones that have survived for generations. The extraordinary scale of the diamonds, combined with the quality of the workmanship and the sophistication of the original construction, places this jewel firmly within the highest echelons of Belle Époque jewellery culture. It is a jewel of a scale and quality consistent with the exceptional clientele served by the finest European jewellery houses of the period. For the serious collector, its attraction lies precisely in the convergence of these elements: two monumental antique diamonds, remarkable matching, exceptional face-up presence, Belle Époque craftsmanship and the survival of the original fitted case.
