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.
