Spectra Fine Jewelry Diamond Platinum Drop Earrings
About the Item
These Diamond Waterfall Drop Earrings made by Spectra Fine Jewelry in the 21st century, circa 2010s, have a classic design with a dramatic effect. Approximating an actual waterfall, the colorful sparkle of the diamonds refracts the light into different colors. The visual is entrancing like water rushing down a mountain. Crafted in platinum, this perfectly symmetrical pair features repeating round brilliant-cut diamonds arranged in three strands, weighing approximately 49.80 carats total of F-G colors and VS clarity. Two center diamonds are approximately 3 carats each and give way to some graduation in stone size before all three strands become uniform and perfectly aligned. Such a design requires the diamonds be close in size, color, clarity, and of course cut quality. It is no small feat to have this many diamonds match so well visually.
Precious stones and metals have been used to adorn the human body since the dawn of humanity. Some historians claim earrings date back to 2500-3000 BC. However, it was only the wealthy and royal families that could afford to wear them. Earrings disappeared almost entirely in Europe between the 11th and 16th centuries because women were wearing hairstyles and head coverings that obscured the ears entirely. The 16th century saw a fashion shift to standing collars, bringing the ears back into view. Improved gem-cutting techniques had developed in the meantime and gemstones, including diamonds, could now be worn as earrings.
The 2.5 inch long (6.35 cm) drops are designed for pierced ears with removable posts and French clips. The design gives the illusion of articulated chandelier earrings with three separate fringe-like strands, but all diamonds are cross-connected with slender stabilizing wires that are well-camouflaged. The reverse side of the jewels tells the hidden story and reveals another dimension of sculptural beauty. The settings are interlaced in such a clever manner as to assure that all diamonds face forward to maximize the sparkle. The reverse side is beautiful in and of itself, with gleaming platinum open circles repeating in mathematical harmony, framing the diamonds beautifully and allowing more light to shine through each sparkling gem. It is only by studying the reverse that we can understand the level of effort required to make the design appear effortless.
Each measures approx. 2.5” in length. 56 round white diamonds weighing 49.80 carats total. Center diamonds are 3 carats each. Diamonds are equivalent to F-G colors, VS clarity. Overall weight is approx. 43.20 grams, made in platinum. Appraisal is available for potential buyers. Circa 2010s.
