de GRISOGONO Colorless Black Diamond Boule Ball Drop Pendant Earrings White Gold
Located in Lisbon, PT
de GRISOGONO Boule round brilliant-cut colorless and black diamond ball dangle drop earrings in 18kt white gold, circa 2000. From the brand’s “Boule” collection and resembling a dalmatian’s black-and-white spotted pattern, each earring is designed as a pave-set colorless diamond and black diamond demi-sphere suspending a similarly-set sphere pendant, both linked to each other through six round brilliant-cut diamonds in individually articulated bezel settings. Secured to reverse with a clip-on fitting. Inspired by the limelight and glamour of jet-set parties, BOULE is the brightest and most iconic expression of de GRISOGONO jewelry creations. Under the sparkling spell of shimmering white reflections, these magnificent jeweled balls dance to the rhythm of a shower of sparkling diamonds. Colorless Diamonds: round brilliant-cut; estimated 25.0 carats in total; F/G color (assessed); VVS clarity (assessed). Black diamonds: round brilliant-cut; estimated 3.0 carats in total. Signed “de GRISOGONO”; stamped with brand’s logo; numbered “12118/07-2”; Common Control Mark for 18kt gold; later Portuguese import marks for 18kt gold. Dimensions: 6.4 x 2.1 cm.

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs

Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry housesTiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.

Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.

Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection. Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement ringsArt Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]

Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.

Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by the likes of contemporary designers WHITE/SPACE and Agmes, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.

Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
