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.

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.

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. Besides Victorian diamond jewelry...
