| One of a Pair of Rose-Cut Diamond and Ruby Earrings Eighteenth Century The Victoria & Albert Museum |
This pair of earrings shimmers with rose-cut diamonds and rubies set in silver. Made in the Eighteenth Century, they are backed with gold which is engraved with the maker's mark “JA.”
Unfortunately, the identity of this maker is unknown. However, the earrings show the growing fashion which arose around 1720 for long, elegant earrings—a fashion which has remained in style to this day.
