About the Item

A pair of antique gold dangle earrings made with petrified wood. These drop-shaped papules are set in 14 karat gold caps and dangling under a Tudor rose flower. It is a beautiful balance between nature - the warm glow of the gold and the organic material of the petrified wood. The earrings are worn with an ear wire. This wire has an additional safety closure that hooks onto the ear wire and can be opened and closed. Petrified wood is very old, it is fossil wood, in which all organic materials have been replaced by minerals while retaining the structure of the wood. The process of petrification happens underground, when a tree becomes engulfed in sediment, and can take millions of years. The smallest details can be immortalized. Petrified growth rings - as seen in these earrings - and various tissues can be seen and traced down to a microscopic level. The earrings are in very good condition and measure 63 millimeters in length and have a nice weight of 5.9 grams. We will wrap your earrings beautifully in a black and gold jewelry box.

Antique Diamond and 14K Gold Silver Dangle Earrings
Located in Rotterdam, NL
An antique 19th century pair of yellow gold earrings set with rose cut diamonds crafted in a silver setting. These antique Dutch dangle earrings have a beautiful design with leaves and a flower with a large diamond in the middle - while the stem and leaves feature smaller diamonds. The diamonds in the earrings have a diameter between 1.5 - 5.1 mm. These rose cut diamonds are quite clear in color and are foiled to give them more sparkle. The allure, the subtle shine of this cut, the imperfect shape of the diamond give this cut its own style. The brisures or ear hooks are attached to it at a later period. Rose cut can be counted among the oldest diamond cuts. Unlike brilliant cuts, the rose has no volume at the colet, no point downwards. The underside of the rose is flat. The top is spherical facet cut. The play of light is less than that of the brilliant cut. Roses were widely used in antique jewelry and now in antique style jewelry...
