About the Item
Long and dramatic 19th Century Amethyst Earrings. The deep purple natural amethysts possess an estimated 68 cts of fine well matched amethysts. The long pear cut stones weigh an estimated 28 cts. each. These earrings are in fine condition, and are 3.75 inches in length. These earrings, including the posts possess no marks, but they have been acid tested and are 14K, 58.5% gold. The earring clutches are also not marked, but acid tests to be 18K.
The earring posts were probably updated and added at a later date. The amethysts match well in their fine purple color, and their lack of visible inclusions to the naked eye.
Antique pendant earrings of this length, all with all the original stones, in excellent condition are very rare to find today, we are pleased to offer such a fine example.
Please note our model is a medium to large size.
All items sold are accompanied by a detailed description with photographs, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all of pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a finely gift-wrapped presentation box.
Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
