About this piece
These elegant drop earrings capture the geometric vocabulary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Art Nouveau vision. Each rectangular silver panel showcases the designer’s signature interplay of solid and void — square cut-outs frame a pale blue topaz marquise stone, held in a bezel setting that emphasises the clean lines. The composition is characteristically Mackintosh: restrained, architectural, deeply considered.
Hand-crafted in 925 sterling silver, both the panels and fish-hook fastenings carry the hallmark 925 stamp along with a maker’s design code and © mark. The stones — tested pale blue topaz — catch light beautifully and hang at a comfortable drop length. These sit well on most ears and are in good condition, with just the gentle patina of age on the silver. A pair for anyone drawn to modernist jewellery and Scottish design heritage.
