YEARS 1935 PAIR OF PEARL AND DIAMOND EARRINGS They feature a drop of old-cut diamonds holding a fine pearl. Set in 18K white gold. Gross weight: 14.38 g (pierced ear system). Weight of fine pearls: 7.91 and 7.24 carats. Dimensions of pearls: 10.25-10.57 mm and 9.91-10.30 mm. SSEF report, in their opinion: fine freshwater pearls, no indication of treatment. SEAWATER VERSUS FRESHWATER Fine losses all originate in water, some in seawater, others in freshwater. It's worth recalling the importance of freshwater pearls in history: The Romans were already familiar with freshwater pearls, which they brought from Scotland. This fact influenced their progress on the British Isle as they sought pearls there. The Nordic countries, Saxony, Bohemia, Russia and France all produced pearls. Empress Maria Theresa of Austria owned a set from the Keselbach fisheries in Saxony. German naturalist Von Essling estimates that over two centuries, more than four hundred and fifty thousand pearls (freshwater fines) were fished from German rivers. The Danish crown jewels also include a necklace of large Scottish Baroque pearls, occasionally worn by the current sovereign. Much of the pearl embroidery on Russian folk costumes, suits and court toilettes over the centuries has been made from thousands of pearls harvested from the Volhov River and the many lakes of northern Russia.
