GIA Certified Fancy Yellow & White Diamond Earrings
Located in New York, NY
Sparkling with splendor of the sun itself, yellow diamonds are sure to usher happiness and joy into your life. The Contemporary Yellow Radiant Diamond Drop Earrings, made by Spectra Fine Jewelry in 2023, are crafted in 18K yellow gold and platinum and feature two outstanding radiant-cut yellow diamonds with an estimated weight of 12.78 carats total. The yellow diamonds are accompanied by a reort by Gemological Institute of America (GIA) stating they are natural diamonds of fancy yellow color with even distribution and VVS2 clarity with estimated carat weights of 6.63 and 6.15 carats, respectively. Fancy yellow diamonds are not only beautiful, but they are also rare and quite valuable - even more so at this large size. Approximately only 1 out of 16,500 carats that are mined is a yellow diamond, far more commonly in weights under 1 carat. This means that larger stones, which are much more rare, can be even more valuable than their colorless counterparts. It is not only the size of the diamond that makes it most challenging to match in a pair of earrings as symmetrical as these, but also the range of color that will vary with carat weight. Further, faceting changes the sparkle and nuances in color hue and saturation. The gemstones in these elegant drop earrings present visually as exquisite matches and as such, are a rare example of superlative curation and quality. The rectangular yellow diamonds...

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.
