Art Deco Diamond, Jadeite, Onyx and Rock Quartz Crystal Convertible Earrings

About the Item

An absolutely stunning and one-of-a-kind pair of convertible earrings from the Art Deco (ca1920) era! These incredible platinum earrings feature a decorative topper which can dangle three different pairs of plaques from the base, creating a variety of fabulous looks. The filigree topper is similar in shape to a shield and holds a sparkling diamond at the center of delicate cutouts. Fine milgrained work decorates the entire surmount and attached at the top is a gold post and earring back, allowing the versatile looks to swing with lovely movement. Hanging below the topper are two bezel set diamonds that flank a sparkling, diamond-shaped plaque in the middle. Resting on the back at the base is a hook and safety latch that allows each of the plaques to securely attach and dangle below. The trio of hand-carved plaques include an onyx loop, a natural, no-heat jadeite teardrop, and an embellished rock quartz crystal ring. The polished onyx loops graduate slightly from top to bottom, and exhibit a wonderful, rich ebony color. The jadeite plaques display mottled green hues and subtle, milky marbling throughout. Mirror images of a lovely bird and floral motif are softly carved onto the front surfaces, with intricate cutouts perfectly placed throughout the design. The translucent rock quartz crystal rings reveal a wonderful floral and leaf etching that encircles the front surface, and also shows through to the back. Attached at the top of each plaque is a decorative platinum loop that securely connects to the hook at the back of the topper. Accompanying the earrings is a Jade Report issued in April 2019 by GIA (Gemological Institute of America), confirming both plaques to be natural jadeite with no signs of color treatment. These three-in-one earrings are one-of-a-kind and would make a stunning and fantastic addition to any collection! The earring toppers hang approximately 1 1/8" long, and measure 1/4" wide, and 1/8" thick. The onyx loops hang approximately 7/8" long, and measure about 3/4" in diameter, and are a little under 1/8" thick. The jadeite plaques hang approximately 1" long, and measure about 3/4" wide, and 1/16" thick. The rock quartz crystal loops hang approximately 7/8" long, measure a little less than 7/8" in diameter, and are a 1/8" thick.
