Early Victorian Antique Rose Cut Diamond Drop Earrings in 18K Yellow Gold

Shipping calculated at checkout.
A remarkable pair of early Victorian diamond earrings, circa 1840–1860, set with approximately 2.35 carats of antique rose-cut diamonds in richly patinated 18K yellow gold.
Each earring is composed of a graduated upper section of individually set rose-cut diamonds leading to a small foliate element and articulated diamond connector. Suspended below is a circular floral cluster centered by a larger rose-cut diamond and surrounded by individually shaped rose-cut stones. The open, scalloped gold gallery beneath the cluster gives the earrings considerable dimension while allowing the lower elements to move freely.

The irregular facets and broad surfaces of the rose-cut diamonds are characteristic of nineteenth-century cutting, producing a softer and more atmospheric reflection than later brilliant-cut stones. The darkened metal immediately surrounding the diamonds provides strong contrast against the warm yellow gold and is visually consistent with the silver-topped gold settings widely used during the period.

The earrings measure approximately 1.25 inches long and 0.50 inch wide and have a substantial combined weight of 15.67 grams. Their later clip-style fittings allow the antique diamond elements to be worn securely while preserving the articulated character of the original design.
