OLD EUROPEAN CUT DIAMOND DROP EARRINGS

Each earring is claw-set with an old European-cut diamond, with a combined approximate weight of 6.00 carats, within an openwork illusion surround, suspended from a pavé-set surmount of old European-cut diamonds with millegrain borders, to a row of smaller rose-cut diamonds connecting to each principle diamond, lever back, tested 9 karat gold, length 3cm.

The diamonds have been assessed by our in-house gemmologists as I/J colour VVS/VS clarity

Why we are obsessed:

It is rare to acquire a pair of old European-cut diamonds of high carat and VVS/VS clarity, the later greatly enhances the optical effect of 'internal fire' where the refraction within the stone throws rainbow colours in multiple directions; indeed in the Georgian and Victorian era's these earrings would have sparkled dramatically on the wearer at high society candle-lit balls.
