In the 1870s, one of the leading designers of these popular, lightweight, creatively designed gold pendant earrings was Robert Pringle & Sons, a multi-generational family business located in the Clerkenwell neighborhood on the northeast edge of central London. The Pringles traced their London heritage back to the 16th century.
