Pair of Edwardian 14k Yellow Gold Engraved Disk Drop Screw Back Earrings

Graceful and refined, this pair of Edwardian engraved disk drop earrings dates to circa 1900, a period celebrated for its elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and understated luxury. Named for the reign of King Edward VII (1901–1910), the Edwardian era bridged the romance of the Victorian age with the modern sensibilities of the twentieth century. Jewelry of the period favored delicate proportions, meticulous engraving, and personal details that transformed cherished adornments into treasured heirlooms.

Crafted in warm 14k yellow gold, these disk drop earrings showcase finely engraved surfaces that reflect the skilled handwork characteristic of the era. At their centers are the engraved initials "M.D.C.", a deeply personal monogram that speaks to the Edwardian appreciation for bespoke jewelry. Monograms were a popular means of commemorating a loved one, celebrating a marriage, or marking a significant milestone, lending each piece a unique story that has endured through generations.

Retaining their original screw-back fittings, these earrings also reflect the wearing styles of the early twentieth century, before pierced ears became commonplace. Their elegant movement, timeless design, and intimate engraving make them not only a beautiful example of Edwardian craftsmanship but also a poignant reminder of jewelry's enduring role as both adornment and personal keepsake.
