3500 via wire, bank transfer or no fee method, 3675 via Paypal. These bright and sparkling, genuine antique, hand cut diamonds have just been GIA certified and inscribed, and reset into 18k yellow gold French Victorian dormeuse drop earrings. Circa 1840 - 1901. Video is available for immediate viewing on my Instagram page Vanessaatheritagejewelry or you can request a you tube link. The word dormeuse translates to "sleeper" for earrings so comfortable they could be worn sleeping. These antique diamonds throw big sparkle and are perfect to wear every day or for any special occasion.They are exceedingly comfortable on the ear, so light weight that you may forget they are on but no one else will! As common of the era the antique settings are put in back to front. A rare treasure sure to be cherished by their new owner. GIA certificates and a professional valuation will be included so that insurance can be obtained on your new heirloom earrings. The cut is listed by GIA as Circular Brilliant but I would describe them as the more commonly used term of Old European Cut as they are round with a visible open culet. GIA numbers will only be shared with the buyer, I can provide photos of any other part of the report by request - Details contained in the reports below
