Classic, dainty, sparkly and elegant...

Crafted of solid platinum, each earring features a milgrain edged bezel-set European cut diamond with a platinum halo surround. These two old cut diamonds are original to their settings and were originally part of an old damaged brooch. I have added platinum posts and backings so that they may now be enjoyed as sweet little studs.
Measuring approximately 3 mm in diameter, each diamond is estimated to weigh approximately .10 to .12 carats, or so, (it's challenging to get a precise depth measurement with their settings) giving an estimated total carat weight for the pair of approximately .20 to .24 carats. Bright and fiery, they have a little warmth, as many old cut diamonds do. I would judge their color to be in the J-K-L range, though they face up beautifully with just a bit of creaminess/slight champagne to their color. Both are eye-clean, with a few tiny clear inclusions seen only under magnification.

In great condition, I see no nicks, chips or scratches; the original milgrain is still crisp and beautiful on their bezels. I love the platinum halo surround that perfectly captures the Edwardian to Art Deco period of design and gives these small studs a little extra style and presence on the ear.

Their total diameter with the platinum surround is approximately 6.6 mm; the platinum posts are approximately 11 mm in length. The rise off the ear is approximately just under 3 mm at the highest point. I chose screwback posts for security (particularly handy if you like to wear your studs to bed and in the shower) and each platinum backing is marked "950." The total weight of the finished pair is 2.00 grams.
