These unique antique earrings from late Victorian era are crafted in 18K gold, showcasing a rich patina from over a century of history. Each features a handcrafted floral setting with scalloped, chrysanthemum-like petals, framing a central rose cut diamond. The diamonds, with their flat base and faceted dome, emit a soft, flickering glow, displaying a pale silvery hue with natural inclusions that affirm their antique origins. Open-back settings enhance their subtle brilliance, typical of the Victorian era.
Measuring 22mm long, the dangle earrings have secure 18K gold lever-back closures with engraved flourishes, weighing 4.88 grams total for a balanced feel. In excellent condition for their age, they show minor wear and softened petal edges, adding to their charm. A perfect find for collectors or as a historical heirloom.
Note: These are antique earrings, made over 100 years ago. They are a little difficult to open and close. The wire on these sleeper-backs (dormeuses) is also very thick and may not work for smaller earring holes.
