Boucheron Door Knocker Earrings Diamond Platinum French Estate Jewelry
By Boucheron
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A gorgeous pair of vintage Boucheron door knocker earrings, crafted of platinum and diamond. The gemstones are of cushion, transitional round brilliant and single cuts that make these door knockers look unique.
The single cut diamonds are bezel set on the inner circumference. The round brilliant cut diamonds are four-prong set and staged on the bottom of the ring. Embellished parts alternate with high-polished platinum elements. A larger antique cushion cut gem adorns the top of the earring.
These Boucheron door knocker earrings carry just the right amount of bling: they are not too flashy, yet they were made to be noticed.
The French vintage earrings are made of platinum and diamonds. Two diamonds on top are approximately 0.80-carat each antique cushion cut, L-M color and SI clarity. The transitional round brilliant cut diamonds are of H-I color, VS clarity, 2.80 carats total weight. The transitional single cut diamonds are of H-I color, VS clarity, 0.90 carat total weight. The diamond total weight is approximately 5.30 carats. The earrings backs are made of 18 karat white gold.
These vintage Boucheron earrings measure 1” x 1" (2.5 x 2.5 cm) and weigh 19.4 grams.
The vintage French earrings are stamped with the Boucheron maker's marks, French hallmarks for platinum and 18k gold, place of manufacture.
The earrings are clip-on, posts can be added.
About Boucheron Brand:
From serving the Royal families all over the world in the 19th century to making the sought-after jewelry pieces nowadays, Boucheron house did it all. Today the brand keeps its leading position in luxury jewelry strong.
A balanced mixture of traditions and creativity has been making Boucheron jewelry highly desirable throughout the time. One of the most recent pieces from Goutte de Ciel (Drop of Sky) collection, a white gold and diamond Goutte de Ciel necklace has an exquisite ice-blue pendant made of Aerogel. It’s a material that was previously only used by NASA. The idea behind the piece was to capture the purity of the sky and translate it into a jewelry piece.
As to vintage Boucheron jewelry, it carries the influence of French Classicism era.
Being raised by the family of drapers, Frédéric Boucheron, the Maison’s founder, brought the pliancy of silk and laces into the goldsmith process. That concept is easy to see in the airy looking Boucheron Bombé...

Shop Now: Antique and Vintage Earrings for Sale on 1stDibs
In the United States, ear piercing didn’t really become popular until the 1950s and ‘60s, but our desire for a dazzling pair of vintage earrings has deeper roots than that. In fact, wearing earrings actually goes back thousands of years, and you can find many tangible connections between now and then in how we continue to talk about these treasured accessories.
Women wore ornamental earrings — studs and hoops at the very least — in Ancient Egypt, which is home to mines that are among the earliest sources of emeralds in the world. Emerald earrings are highly prized today, and their quality lies in their rich, saturated color. The highest-quality emeralds are green or bluish-green. Earrings worn by the affluent in early Roman civilizations were set with precious stones such as diamonds and pearls, and a clean-looking pop of pearl on the front of the lobe is as timeless as ever. Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C.
Today, ear piercing is very popular all over the world, and, as a result, it is difficult to overstate how much everyone pines for a good pair of earrings — modernist drop earrings, glamorous Victorian hoops, geometrically complex chandelier earrings, you name it. Sure, jewelry trends and the fashion darlings of social media come and go, but earrings have a staying power that seems impenetrable: The still-strong love affair between British royals and Cartier earrings is more than a century old, glossy 1970s hoops from legacy houses such as Bulgari and Van Cleef & Arpels remain the statement makers they’ve always been and although people have been stacking earrings for many moons, the allure of an expertly mismatched stack of charms and studs still feels fresh and new.
While there is no shortage of modern earring designs to choose from, the classics, like coral earrings, Art Deco–style earrings and diamond drop earrings are still heavy hitters. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage earrings today.
