About the Item

Unique and Exquisite pair of The End of the 19th CENTURY, A BEAUTIFUL Pair of Original Late Victorian Era Platinum & 18k Rose Gold (tested) Earrings with shimmering Old European cut Diamonds.

Two large bottom diamonds are 2.38ct O-P/VS1 and 2.13ct S-T/VS1, GIA Certified, extremely bright and sparkly. The top small Old European diamonds are 0.70cts K-L color SI1 clarity overall. The diamonds face up very well and looks eye clean. These divine antique diamond drops, measuring 17.56mm, dance with your every movement. The weight is 8.76gr. HINGED EAR WIRE earrings for pierced ears, usually associated with European jewelry, circa 1880. The wire would be inserted from the back of the ear and fastened at the front in this style. Very Secure. This style of the mountings is classically elegant for day or for night. TRULY ONE-OF-A-KIND! Overall light wear commensurate with age and use. All diamonds are present and appear original, no visible chips. No signs of damage or repair to the mounts, just overall rubbing. The earrings were polished and ready to wear. Retail replacement Value $55,000.00 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 in a GIFT BOX with Original GIA certificate, GIA E-report and an APPRAISAL. You can send it back within 3 days for a FULL refund less initial shipping. DV977DE18001
