About the Item

A pair of Victorian diamond earrings made of 14k yellow gold and silver settings. The earrings feature two Old European cut diamonds weighing approximately 1.64-carat and 1.68-carat. Their hand-cut facets and softly rounded outlines give them that distinctive character of the antique cut diamonds. Each diamond is held in an ornate crown-style setting with multiple prongs, allowing them to be fully appreciated. The delicate openwork silver setting details add beautiful texture to the design. Darkened silver highlights the contrast between the diamonds and the setting, a characteristic feature often seen in antique diamond, silver and gold earrings. Rich in period detail, these Victorian diamond earrings are an excellent choice for those who appreciate authentic antique earrings with a classic late 19th-century design. The earrings are made of 14 karat (tested) yellow gold and silver. One Old European cut diamond weighs approximately 1.64-carat, is of N-O color and SI1 clarity, and the other one weighs around 1.68 carats, and is of L-M color and VS2 clarity. Both display the characteristic deep crown and cut culet of early diamond cutting style. The earrings measure 5/8” x 3/8” (1.6 x 0.9 cm) and weigh 4.8 grams. About Victorian Jewelry: Victorian jewelry is dated from 1837 to 1901. The era’s name was inherited from Queen Victoria who reigned during that time. Her significant input shaped the jewelry style of that time. To navigate in such a vast period, historians divide it into following parts: • The Early Victorian or Romantic • The Middle of Grand Victorian • The Late or Aesthetic Victorian Era Different materials, gemstones and techniques were popular specifically for each era. Some styles though remained in favor longer than during just one period. For instance, hair jewelry made its way through Romantic to Grand period. Snake and animal motifs were also in demand throughout the era. • Early Victorian jewelry As to the Queen influence, Romantic Period jewelry had well pronounced sentimental vibes. It was the time when young Queen Victoria was in love with her husband, Prince Albert. And the whole nation admired their relationship. Cameos, matching brooches, miniature portraits and lockets reflected the likeness of loved ones. After Albert’s passing in 1861, the Early Victorian Period ended, and The Grand era began. • Grand Victorian jewelry After the incandescent bulb invention in 1870s, diamond jewelry started thriving like never before. Diamonds, being placed under the electric light, revealed their dazzling nature and looked truly fascinating. Besides Victorian diamond jewelry, mourning jewelry massively gained its popularity, reflecting the Queen grieving state after Albert’s passing. Opulence and larger scale prevailed in the Grand Victorian jewels style. It was the time of booming economy, and jewelry makers picked up the trend. • Late Victorian jewelry Late Victorian jewelry makers stepped away from creating massive, heavy pieces. Women lifestyle changed towards independence. They got involved in new activities such as bicycling and tennis. To keep up with the new clientele’s needs, Late Victorian pieces were lighter and more wearable. Attached safety pins became very handy and this element is the era’s design feature. Tiffany & Co. introduced their first solitaire diamond engagement ring during Late Victorian times. Etruscan and Egyptian revival, along with the Oriental motifs kept being popular. Another typical style for the period was a choker necklace. The Aesthetic period and the whole Victorian era ended with Queen Victoria’s passing in 1901.
