14K Gold and Silver Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Collet Set Dormeuse Earrings
About the Item
These are a gorgeous pair of Victorian Rose Cut diamond earrings recently sourced in Prague. They bear Austro-Hungarian hallmarks on the wire and feature dutch Rose Cut diamonds that are foil backed. The front of the earrings are set in oxidized silver with a beautiful collet setting indicative of antique jewelry. The earrings are romantic and mysterious—the oxidized silver gives a dark sparkle to the Rose Cut diamonds, which are known for being cut to be seen in candlelight. The back of the earring is mounted on a 14k gold cage that has pretty, crown-like lattice work and balances nicely with the profile of the collet setting. The earrings connect to a wire that is hinged and closes securely onto itself at the back.
“Dormeuse” means sleeper in French, a term used from the mid-19th to early 20th century that refers to earrings that are comfortable enough to sleep in, typically with one large and one small diamond, as seen in this pair. This is a great, elegant pair of jewelry—a staple pair for an antique jewelry collector, the Victorian era version of a pair of diamond studs.
The natural antique Rose Cut diamonds measure approximately 5.25 mm across. Because of the nature of Rose Cuts, it is hard to estimate their carat weight.
Combined, the earrings weigh 4.05 grams. Each earring measures 3/8” across and dangles 5/8” below where it pierces the ear. They are marked as 14k gold and Austro-Hungarian on the wire. Also the collet setting test to be silver. Circa 1890.
For pierced ears.

Victorian 14K Rose Gold & Rose Cut Diamond Bracelet
Located in Venice, CA
A beautiful rose gold and diamond bracelet from the Victorian era. This piece of jewelry features 7 gorgeous rose cut diamonds that are arranged from the center in a descending order. The largest diamond at the center measures 4.9 mm in diameter and the smallest ones, at either end, measure 2.8 mm in diameter. Each diamond is held within 8-pronged, raised buttercup settings that individually conform to the rose cut diamonds and is foil backed. There are some very small dents along the edge of the bracelet, these are age appropriate for a piece that is 130 years old and are only a minor distraction to this pieces beauty.
There is a lovely hand-made quality about this piece of jewelry. It has an original bifurcated design and at the center a row of multi faceted diamonds. The silver foil backs of the diamonds give the diamonds a reflective hue that is very romantic and remind us of candle light. The bracelet is in very good condition. Perfect for a 6.5 inch wrist or smaller, it adds a feminine touch to any dress. Tongue and groove clasp with a security chain. A makers mark can be found a the interior of the clasp where the bracelet closes shut. It appears to be the letter A...

14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
Located in Venice, CA
At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly.
The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount.
The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance.
The necklace is circa 1890’s. Kirsten’s Corner has added an antique platinum chain...
