These delicate but impactful earrings belong to the "Garland Style," an early 20th century revival of Ancien Regime jewelry, ornament and architectural design, focussed on leafy and scrolling swags, cascades, ribbon bows and draped elements, executed in diamonds, pearls and platinum to achieve a luminous and sparkling white palette.
