About the Item

A magnificent pair of GIA certified old European cut diamond stud earrings set in platinum. Matching perfectly in their incredible sparkle and brilliance, each earring features a GIA-certified old European brilliant-cut diamond of an incredible size. Each stone is eight-claw-set in an open-back setting with an openwork gallery and secured to reverse with a post and butterfly fitting. The diamond pair are a magnificent example of 19th century diamond cutting and were traditionally created by craftsmen using hand tools. The diamond cutters honed their craft over decades and these skills are now a rarity. The studs are simple yet breath-taking once on the ear and because of their simplicity could easily be worn by themselves as a statement piece or worn with other jewels. As the stones are old cuts they are warmer in colour as the craftsman cut diamonds in this era for their beauty and yield.
