About the Item

An exquisite, highly elegant, and masterfully detailed pair of vintage mid-century button-style drop earrings from the 1950s. Expertly crafted with a solid 9-karat yellow gold and fine 800 silver settings, these beautiful pieces are designed as a romantic homage to classical Victorian and Georgian jewelry aesthetics. The earrings feature a distinctive, softly domed circular shield silhouette. Each cluster button is meticulously encrusted with authentic antique-cut natural diamonds, weighing a notable combined total of approximately 1.12 carats. True to historical European goldsmithing traditions, these antique diamonds are grain-set within a fine 800 silver top (millesimi). This traditional technique gives the metal a gorgeous darkened patina over time, ensuring that the white diamonds reflect a soft, intensely romantic, and mysterious fire without gold color absorption. On the reverse, the earrings are equipped with traditional Pompeian hooks ). Crafted in solid 9-karat yellow gold, these elegant wires insert from the back and hinge securely forward, allowing the sparkling diamond shields to sit perfectly flush and beautifully centered against the earlobe without drooping. With a substantial and perfectly balanced total weight of 12.30 grams, these earrings offer a commanding visual presence while remaining exceptionally comfortable on the lobes for prolonged signature wear. A magnificent and timeless addition to any vintage fine jewelry collection. Important Note Regarding the Set Please note that the listed price refers strictly to the pair of earrings alone. The matching ring featured in the photoshoot is part of this exquisite vintage set and is sold separately.
