Description

Very sparkly and elegant, these antique diamond drop earrings feature a wonderful classically Edwardian design of diamond set leaves and bezel-set diamonds...total estimated carat weight is approximately .70 carats, or so.

Crafted of platinum with 14K white gold posts and backings as a later addition....These came to me as earrings, but look to have been constructed with antique earring or bracelet components.

The larger diamonds are bezel-set OEC's, measuring approximately 3.8 to 3.9 mm, and estimated at approximately .15 carats each, with H-I color and eye-clean clarity. (also quite good clarity under magnification, with no damage, and nice milgrain still edging the bezels.)

The top diamonds (on front of the posts) are chunky single cuts, approximately 2 mm in diameter, set in 3 mm settings, total estimated carat weight of approximately .06 carats, with H-I color. Eye clean, I see a few small inclusions under mangification, and no damages, though there is some wear to the settings.

Love the diamond set leaves! A single diamond-set leaf connects to the pairs of leaves, all set with chunky old cut diamonds and edged with milgrain. Most of these small diamonds have a square/cushion cut that almost looks like a table cut with some extra facets...really charming and unusual. They average approximately 1 x 1 mm and estimated at combined weight of approximately .34 carats, with H-I-J color abd eye-clean clarity. A few inclusions can be seen under magnification with two stones having teeny tiny chips that can't be seen with the naked eye.

Total drop length is approximately 40 mm or 1 9/16 of an inch, total weight of the pair is 4.05 grams.
