Details
Two old mine cut diamonds, weighing approximately 2.60 carats combined and graded a warm fancy yellow-brown color in VS clarity, sit cradled in scalloped yellow gold prongs on these earrings, their deep cushion-shaped outline and soft, candlelit sparkle the unmistakable signature of pre-1900 diamond cutting. The champagne-brown color is no accident of age but a genuine fancy color grade, giving these stones a warmth that a colorless diamond simply doesn't have. Both diamonds were originally part of a single Victorian brooch, later and thoughtfully separated and reset as a pair of drop earrings, a practice common among fine estate houses when a period piece's best stones deserve a second life in a more wearable form. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the earrings weigh a light 3.00 grams, easy on the ear despite the substantial size of the stones. Circa 1900s, this is a genuine piece of Victorian history wearing contemporary clothes, ideal for someone who loves antique diamond color but wants it in an earring rather than a brooch.
