About the Item

Exquisite Original Antique Pair of Late Victorian Era Dormeuse Earrings with shimmering over 6CT of Old Cushion cut Diamonds. Two bottom Antique Cushions 2.83ct and 2.91ct and estimated total is 5.74CT, Light Brownish YELLOW color VS1 clarity, and 2 small Old Mine Diamonds on the top, estimated total is 0.50Ct. Diamonds are lightly tinged with a touch of warm sunshine, beams beautifully from within a striking prongs collet setting, set into 18k Yellow Gold and Oxidized Silver Baskets. Bottom diamond outline set’s measurements are 10.60x9.43mm; top diamonds set outline measurements are 4.92x4.50mm. The Diamonds are very BRILLIANT color VS-SI clarity overall. Created in 18k Yellow Gold (stamped) and Silver (tested). Most beautiful and unique European jewelry was made during that era right before Art Deco hit the world with its straight lines! Can be worn with a pair of jeans or with a gown to the Oscars! The weight is 4.53grams. The length 21.14mm with euro wire clasp. TRULY ONE-OF-A-KIND! Retail value is $ 85,000.00 Overall light wear commensurate with age and use. All diamonds are present and appear original, no visible chips. Apart from the later French liver back fittings ( 750 stamped), which have been neatly done with soft solder patches, no other signs of damage or repair to the mounts, just overall rubbing and general ware. When judging diamonds in antique jewelry, one must be careful not to judge antique diamonds by modern standards. Antique diamonds have a soft romantic glow that many people find very appealing. Antique diamonds were cut to maximize carat weight and the brilliance. Diamonds were cut by hand until the early 1900's. This was a laborious, time-consuming process. Unfortunately, many antique diamonds have been re-cut over the years and start disappearing. This has caused demand for these old cut diamonds to rise in recent years, along with the prices that people are willing to pay for them. Comes with EGL USA, an APPRAISAL and in a GIFT BOX. 70228500
