Period drama, real jewels
The Gilded Age is set in New York in the 1880s, an era when the city's great families wore jewelry to say who they were. It is fitting that a star of the show chose real vintage jewelry for its premiere: pieces with their own history, made by hand in a time before mass production.
The pieces
Victorian diamond and enamel earrings, circa 1900
Her earrings are our Victorian Antique Cut Diamond & Enamel Earrings, made around 1900 in 18-karat yellow gold with fine black enamel detailing. Each earring holds a pear-shaped diamond, about 1.95 carats for the pair, surrounded by 24 old mine-cut diamonds of about 2.93 carats. They are 1.5 inches long, with delicate floral accents and screw backs. In other words, they come from the very end of the era The Gilded Age brings to the screen.
A vintage emerald-cut diamond ring
On her hand she wore our Vintage Emerald Cut Diamond Gold Ring, a modernist 18-karat yellow gold ring with a channel-set row of step-cut diamonds. Its clean, architectural lines are the perfect counterpoint to the romantic Victorian earrings.
Earrings and a ring: the simplest pairing
Earrings and a ring are the easiest way to wear important jewelry. The earrings light up the face in every photograph, and the ring shows whenever the hands move. When the two share a stone or a metal, the look feels complete without needing a necklace.
