A so-called poissarde (French for: fishwife) is a form of earring worn mainly in the years around 1800. These pieces are shaped like large hoops, similar to creoles and feature decorations of superimposed ornaments on their front, sometimes set with gemstones. In the center of the oval hoop is typically an S-shaped connection of gold wire, meant to resemble a fishhook. The earrings take their name from the fishwives of the city of Paris, who were the first to wear them and, adorned with them, played a significant role in the French Revolution. The present earrings of the Biedermeier period show themselves in this classical form. The ear jewellery of the years around 1820 is made of rose gold. The front of the hoop is decorated with colourful glass pastes in royal blue and natural pearls, which were staggered in moving rows. The S-shaped link rests against the earlobe, holding the ornate front in place. The hoops can be unfolded to put them on; afterwards they snap securely back into place, so that the pair can still be worn safely and with pleasure some 200 years after its creation. Brigitte Marquardt's comprehensive compendium: Jewelry. Klassizismus und Biedermeier, 1780-1850, Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz , Munich 1983, shows comparable earrings of the same type on pp. 223 f.
