Museum Selection Revival Crystal Earrings
Description
Crystal set earrings from Anne Koplik inspired by the Renaissance Revival designs of the 1870s. Throughout Europe costume balls had become a popular form of entertainment and no expense was spared for these lavish events with costumes being meticulously copied from relevant historical portraits and appropriate jewellery and accessories made to complete the look. A thousand Tudor and Stuart period portraits were displayed at the South Kensington Museum (later the Victoria & Albert Museum) providing inspiration to the jewellers working in the Revival styles. Some of this jewellery took on a popularity all its own.
