English c.1910 Edwardian 18k gold earrings with mother-of-pearl, enamel, and pearls
From the English Edwardian period, c.1910s, this pair of stud earrings is crafted in solid 18k gold and mother-of-pearl, finished with white enamel and set with natural pearls. Originally designed as a pair of cufflinks, they have been sympathetically converted by us into earrings, preserving the original materials and proportions.
An all-white palette—iridescent mother-of-pearl, luminous pearls, and crisp enamel—creates a restrained, minimal elegance. Rather than relying on color, the design builds depth through luster and texture: the soft glow of nacre, the glass-smooth sheen of enamel, and the warm gold framing together convey the Edwardian taste for delicacy and refinement.
The earrings are in good antique condition, showing normal oxidation and light wear; the mother-of-pearl exhibits minor surface rubs, and the enamel remains intact. The reverse is stamped “18ct.” As condition assessments are subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to examine details closely before making your evaluation.
