Victorian Silver Topped 14K Gold Back Diamond Leaf Shaped Earrings

About the Item

These Victorian era diamond leaf earrings are sterling silver front and gold back. They are exquisitely made with remarkable details and craftsmanship. Each earring contains 32 small rose cut diamonds that make up an elongated leaf. The diamonds have an unusual square shape of rose cut that are not often seen, and are beautifully set along the curling leaf. The branch is made of gold, tested to 14k. These earrings have clip back omega backs, making this design even more versatile with many options for placement along the ear lobe. Omega backs are very secure. The gold leaves are Victorian, but the omega backs were probably added in the 1970's to make the earrings functional for contemporary use. The earrings weigh approximately 5.8 grams combined. Each earring measures 1 1/8" x 3/4" at its widest points. The diamonds are approximately 1.5mm. There is approximately .60 of a carat total diamond weight in the earrings. Circa 1890, these earrings are a fine example of the naturalistic style of jewelry during this era, which took inspiration from the natural world.

  • Victorian Diamond Encrusted Arrow Pendant with Silver Front and 14K Gold Back
    Located in Venice, CA
    Circa the 1870’s, this diamond encrusted arrow has been converted from a pin into a pendant that can be worn in a variety of ways. The arrow contains 32 natural Rose Cut diamonds that vary in shape and size, from round to oblong. Each diamond catches the light in a unique way, and the intricate details of the hand carved antique stones are mesmerizing. The quills of the feather are delineated, with space between each quill that reveals its careful workmanship. The age of this piece and its rustic, handcrafted quality gives it a beautiful naïveté. The arrow is a strong symbol of direction and sacrifice. It brings to mind St. Sebastian and stories of miracles and martyrdom. It can also be worn to represent momentum, movement, and protection. The pendant has a silver front and 14k gold back. We added half-bails to both ends of the pendant so that the arrow can be worn pointing up or down, or could be used as a chain extender. The pendant contains approximately .5 of a carat of diamonds. The 32 natural Rose Cut diamonds range from 2 mm to 1.25 mm. The arrow measures 2 3/16” x 9/16”. It weighs 4.2 grams. It is unmarked but acid tests as silver and 14k gold. The pendant is pictured here on both the 9K Gold Victorian Fettered Link English Watch Chain and Vintage 14K Gold Italian Snake...

    Located in Venice, CA
    Here at Kirsten’s Corner, we find buttons particularly charming. They remind us of warmth and coziness—a loved one reminding us to “button up” our coats before we go out into the cold, or a beloved grandparent telling a child that they are “cute as a button.” A button fastens two elements together, attaching them safely and securely to each other. They are tiny but strong, and almost always adorable. Part of our “Cute as a Button” collection...
