Diamond Earrings in the Victorian Time
The popularity of earrings has waned a couple of times through history. As hairstyle evolved to cover to cover the ears, women were less likely to wear earrings. During the 17th and 18th centuries, women piled their hair high and then higher on their head and the girandole and pendeloque style of earrings became popular. They had branches, like a candlestick hung into cascades like a chandelier. When the south African diamond fields started being mined back in the 1860s, diamond solitaires became the standard of sophistication in diamond earrings that we cherish today.
