Description:

If you have a penchant for rare and resplendent jewels, these antique 18ct Gold rose-cut Diamond lever-back earrings are a must for your collection! Each earring displays a large and crisply faceted rose-cut Diamond, one weighing approx. 0.60ct and the other 0.70ct, that catches the light from every angle.

Crafted from brightly saturated 18ct Gold, the earrings are formed into eye-catching florals, each openwork petal curving elegantly around the central rose-cut Diamond, studded with black Enamel details and topped by a smaller Diamond.

The central Diamonds are not perfectly matched, but we feel this adds character and enhances their antique allure. Exquisitely formed and brimming with Victorian charm, these antique rose-cut Diamond earrings exude luxury and will provide your lobes with endless sparkle!

Condition:

VERY GOOD. These antique 18ct Gold rose-cut Diamond lever-back earrings are in very good condition. The Gold is buttery and the flower forms have retained their shapes remarkably well over the years. The hooks have been rebuilt in 14ct Gold, but only from the middle up, and are in keeping with design. The large rose-cut Diamonds aren't a perfect match, but we feel that this adds to their character. All the Diamonds are securely set and are free from fleabites or abrasions. The back of one Diamond setting has some small dings, but this cannot be seen while the earrings are being worn. The Black Enamel is pristine and is completely free from surface wear. The lever-backs provide comfortable and secure closure so you can enjoy showing these Victorian Diamond earrings off with absolute confidence!
