Hand Engraved Leaf Feather Diamond Earrings - Old European Cut Diamonds .90 ctw

About the Item

Once part of an elegant 1920's Art Deco period brooch, these stylish earrings combine fiery European cut diamonds with a vertical drop of hand engraved leaves or feathers. Worn like studs, they have threaded posts for extra security. Crafted of 14K white gold, each earring features a bezel-set diamond at the top, measuring approximately 4.8 mm in diameter and estimated to weigh approximately .45 a piece for a total estimated carat weight of .90 for the pair. Both diamonds are bright, lively and very fiery, with good color in the near-colorless range. I don't see any inclusions with my naked eye, though a few are visible to me with magnification. Both diamonds are in good condition with no damage. Much of the original milgrain detail edging the bezels remain. Each leaf or feather was hand engraved, with details still nice and crisp; I find their slightly rustic look very pleasing. With a total length of just over 1 inch or approximately 25.6 mm, the pair weigh 3.55 grams on my scale. (nice and comfy even if your ears are sensitive to weight) We placed the 14K white gold threaded posts below the diamond's settings, so it's approximately 3/4 of an inch from the posts to the tips of the leaves/feathers. I think they turned out beautifully - elegant but also a little edgy. They could be worn equally well with a t-shirt and jeans or with a gown.
