About the Item

A beautiful and romantic example of Victorian jewelry design, this pair of antique 9 karat gold dangle earrings is masterfully crafted with richly detailed ornamentation and symbolic stones. These earrings capture the essence of 19th-century style with their dramatic presence and refined design. Each earring features a deep, domed carbuncle garnet (a smooth, cabochon-cut garnet), set in a teardrop-shaped bezel. The garnets are accented with a central cross of half pearls, a design typical of the Victorian era and often associated with love, virtue, and remembrance. The surrounding gold framework is partially openworked, creating lightness in form while showcasing intricate detailing and tiny applied gold accents. A single pearl is also set beneath the main drop, adding further elegance to the composition. The earrings are suspended from hook ear wires, which are of a later date, likely updated for modern wear. Despite this alteration, the earrings maintain their strong antique character and historic appeal. Details: Period: Victorian, circa mid-to-late 19th century Materials: 9K yellow gold, (unmarked, but tested) garnet carbuncles, half pearls Design: Openwork gold frames with domed garnet centers and pearl accents Hooks: Later replacements (modern) Length: Approx. 4.5 cm (1.77 inches) Condition: Very good antique condition; minor wear consistent with age, hooks later additions These earrings are an exceptional find for collectors of antique jewelry, particularly lovers of Victorian design and meaningful gemstone combinations. Elegant yet dramatic, they make a statement both in history and in style.

Antique Victorian Diamonds and Gold with Silver Earrings, 19th Century

Located in Rotterdam, NL

An antique 19th century pair of yellow gold earrings set with rose-cut diamonds crafted in a silver setting. These antique Dutch dangle earrings have a beautiful design with leaves and a flower with a large diamond in the middle - while the stem and leaves feature smaller diamonds. The diamonds in the earrings have a diameter between 1.5 - 5.1 mm. These rose cut diamonds are quite clear in color and are foiled to give them more sparkle. The allure, the subtle shine of this cut, the imperfect shape of the diamond give this cut its own style. The brisures or ear hooks are attached to it at a later period. Rose cut can be counted among the oldest diamond cuts. Unlike brilliant cuts, the rose has no volume at the colet, no point downwards. The underside of the rose is flat. The top is spherical facet cut. The play of light is less than that of the brilliant cut. Roses were widely used in antique jewelry and now in antique style jewelry...
