Victorian Diamond 14k Gold Drop Stud Earrings, Antique Estate Jewelry
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A delicate pair of Victorian rose cut diamond earrings, made of 14 karat gold.
The earrings of drop dangling design, each feature two diamonds. The top one is a smaller, four-prong set stone. The dangling larger diamond is seven-prong set in a beautifully crafted open-work basket. The earrings’ closure is leverback.
The backs of the diamonds are foil backed. The process of foiling was common in the Victorian era. Applying a layer of metal or other material on the back of a stone improved brightness and brilliance. Today this technique that requires skills and time to implement has been lost. Over time the foil-backed jewelry became rare and sought-after by collectors.
These fabulous Victorian diamond drop stud earrings are classy, timeless, feminine and wearable. They are a great addition to your jewelry collection.
These antique earrings feature four rose cut diamonds, approximately 4.0 carat total weight, O-P color, I1 clarity.
The setting is made of 14 karat (tested) rose gold.
The earrings measure 1” x ½” (2.5 x 1.1 cm) and weigh 4.4 grams.
About Victorian Jewelry:
Victorian jewelry is dated from 1837 to 1901. The era’s name was inherited from Queen Victoria who reigned during that time. Her significant input shaped the jewelry style of that time.
To navigate in such a vast period, historians divide it into following parts:
• The Early Victorian or Romantic
• The Middle of Grand Victorian
• The Late or Aesthetic Victorian Era
Different materials, gemstones and techniques were popular specifically for each era. Some styles though remained in favor longer than during just one period. For instance, hair jewelry made its way through Romantic to Grand period. Snake and animal motifs were also in demand throughout the era.
• Early Victorian jewelry
As to the Queen influence, Romantic Period jewelry had well pronounced sentimental vibes. It was the time when young Queen Victoria was in love with her husband, Prince Albert. And the whole nation admired their relationship. Cameos, matching brooches, miniature portraits and lockets reflected the likeness of loved ones. After Albert’s passing in 1861, the Early Victorian Period ended, and The Grand era began.
• Grand Victorian jewelry
After the incandescent bulb invention in 1870s, diamond jewelry started thriving like never before. Diamonds, being placed under the electric light, revealed their dazzling nature and looked truly fascinating.

Diamond, Pearl and Antique Drop Earrings
Earrings are a timeless accessory. Women have been wearing studs and hoops in civilizations as far back as Ancient Egypt. Diamond drop earrings, pearl versions and other antique drop earrings have a long history as well.
While hoops will always be beautiful, drop earrings hold their own as dazzling accessories, and jewelry designers have explored different variations on this style of earring over time.
Although the term is often misapplied, true drop earrings are characterized by a long lean line ending in a pear-shaped stone that drops just below the earlobe. These accessories were popular in the Art Deco era, which encompassed the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design.
There were many influences on Art Deco jewelry; among them, the excavation of the tomb of King Tut in 1922. “Egyptomania” left an indelible mark on all of the major jewelry houses, from Cartier to Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Georges Fouquet. Today, the popularity of long Art Deco drop earrings can be attributed to the influence of Coco Chanel. These earrings are frequently characterized by simple shapes, clean lines and an integration of colorful stones such as blue sapphires, emeralds and rubies to accent the pieces’ diamonds. Indeed, during the 20th century, as technology for diamond cutting improved, diamond drop earrings and other diamond jewelry came into wide popularity. Formal examples of diamond drop earrings pair perfectly with a cocktail dress or fancy pantsuit, while gem-set and gold drop earrings make great daytime accessories.
While there are at least several types of earrings you could be wearing right now, drop earrings work well for anyone who favors a minimalist look. Whatever the occasion, find a wide range of antique, diamond and pearl drop earrings on 1stDibs.
