Antique Victorian Emerald & Diamond Earrings 18K Gold Crescent Design - c.1890
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this stunning pair of antique Victorian 18ct gold emerald and diamond earrings, made c.1890.
Captivating upon first glance and enchanting with a celestial theme, this pair most certainly combines all the best elements of Victorian flair and goldsmithing.
The pair is made in the form of (half) crescents with the most elegant tapering of emeralds and diamonds, set from a wide end to an incredibly intricate point. Upon closer inspection, even the tip is adorned with one tiny diamond, a level of finesse rarely seen on contemporary pieces and a wonderful example and testament to the level of detailing and craftsmanship of the Victorian era.
The emeralds and diamonds are set in a way that the gold setting and claws behind are hardly visible, making use of the entire surface space to display the gems in full splendour. The curved setting and tapering truly come to life upon wearing in natural lighting as each different angle and surface reflects light in a tantalizing manner.
The largest emerald is approximately 0.2ct and the largest diamond is around 7 points. Total diamond estimate for the pair 0.6ct and emerald 1.5ct.
Owing to its unique and stylish design, these earrings would most certainly grace a wide range of clothes and dresses even in the modern day. Furthermore, its shape allows it to be worn with either the point towards the front or towards yourself which can result in a different overall appearance.
Overall, a remarkable piece of fine Victorian jewellery whether it be a special gift or a personal addition. This pair would most certainly make for a unique addition for the distinguished antique jewellery lover and an instant conversation starter upon wearing. Perfect as a standalone accessory to accentuate your outfit or among other jewellery.
The pair is unmarked as is common with articles of this period and as such we have tested it fully with results indicating 18ct gold.
Emerald is known to be the birthstone for May and Diamonds, June.
All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary modern hard shell gift box with a velvet interior. Please note, any other antique boxes/display items are not included unless otherwise stated.
