About the Item

These sophisticated estate earrings, created circa 1990, showcase the masterful "mystery-set" technique popularized by legendary French jewelry houses. Each earring features a high-domed, oval plaque meticulously set with 80 square-cut sapphires, totaling approximately 6.40 carats. The sapphires are precisely calibrated to create a seamless, velvet-like surface of deep royal blue, uninterrupted by visible prongs. A shimmering halo of 56 round brilliant-cut diamonds—weighing 1.10 carats with F-G color and VVS-VS clarity—provides a crisp, high-contrast border. Crafted in substantial 18k yellow gold and weighing 13.0 grams, these 0.75-inch earrings feature secure clip-on backs with collapsible posts for versatile wear. Their bold, architectural silhouette and flawless gemstone integration make them a quintessential acquisition for the discerning vintage collector.
