Giardinetti ("little gardens") jewels were quite popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, for who wouldn't want a diamond or gemstone garden in their jewel cadre? This Continental European pair, in sterling silver, is set with rose cut diamonds in botanical arrangements—a design language rooted in Rococo and Neoclassical taste. At over three inches in length, they are unusually large for the period and remain in fully original condition.

We endeavor to fully disclose all condition information clearly and concisely, however, please note that what qualifies as excellent condition for historical jewelry differs from modern and contemporary pieces; please take the age of the piece into account when examining the piece. Minor age wear is typical and to be expected for antique and vintage jewelry.
