A pair of rare Georgian closed back amethyst paste solitaire drop earrings circa 1770.

Georgian jewellery (1714-1837) is known for its intricate craftsmanship, hand-fabricated settings, and use of precious gemstones like diamonds, topaz, and garnets. Pieces were often set in gold or silver with techniques like repoussé and cannetille.

Popular designs featured nature-inspired motifs, including floral and scrollwork patterns. Sentimental jewellery, such as mourning rings and lover's eye miniatures, was also prevalent. Since each piece was handmade, authentic Georgian jewellery is rare and highly sought after by collectors.
