Edwardian Diamond & Pear Shaped Turquoise Drop Earrings

953G
322 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty pair of diamond and Persian turquoise drop earrings. They were made in England circa 1900-1910. Turquoise was very fashionable in the early 1900s. The word “turquoise” dates to the 17th century and is derived from the French “turques” for “Turks” because the mineral was first brought to Europe from mines in the historical Khorasan Province of Persia.
