A vintage pair of rubellite and diamond drop earrings
About the Item
A vintage pair of rubellite and diamond drop earrings, each earring set with an octagonal-cut rubellite, the one weighing 6.90 carats and the other 6.95 carats, each with three small old-cut diamonds set on the top, all suspended by a larger old-cut diamond, the diamonds estimated to weigh 0.80 carats in total for the pair, all mounted in white gold, with later post and alpha-type fittings, marked 750, circa 1950, measuring approximately 2.5 x 1cm, gross weight 7.6 grams.
This vintage pair of earrings is in very good condition for its age, with later post fittings. Marked and tested as 18ct gold.
A mesmerizing pair of drop earrings. These earrings feature scintillating and romantic old-cut diamonds with gorgeous rubellite gemstones of a deep pink hue. The pink variety of elbaite tourmaline, rubellites are the rarest gemstone in the tourmaline family. Rubellites of such an intense pink to red colour such as those featured are particularly prized because of their rarity, making these earrings truly special. The glimmering diamonds set above the rubellites contrast wonderfully with their raspberry red colour, adding elegance and sparkle. Made in 1950, these arresting earrings are on offer at Bentley and Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and truly epitomize the glitz and glamour of the era. These lively and feminine earrings would look beautiful with a sleek cocktail dress for an evening event. They would also add a pop of colour to a less formal outfit and would look particularly striking worn in the summer months.
