Antique Edwardian Diamond Drop Earrings 1.2ct Total

An elegant pair of antique Edwardian diamond drop earrings, adorned with four bright, clean old cut diamonds, with superb SI1 clarity – H colour. The largest diamonds weigh approx. 0.50ct at the bottom, with smaller 0.10ct stones above (approx. 1.2ct total).

During the 18th and 19th Century, old cut diamonds were considered the highest standard with skilfully hand-cut facets that were said to gently dance by candlelight. It may be considered less refined and flashy by modern standards, but their rugged aesthetic and distinctive fire are unlike any machine-cut stones made today and evoke the romance and skilled craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The pair is fashioned in platinum with hook wires at the top and scalloped claw settings for the largest stones. They’d be perfect for a wedding or glamorous evening do, with four stunning diamonds on show that sparkle and dance endlessly.
