Historic Haute Couture: Pre-Victorian Diamond Earrings

These Georgian Pre-Victorian earrings, dating back to around 1820, are in very good condition, their exact origins wrapped in mystery. Crafted from a blend of 18k red gold and silver, they embody the intricate silver on gold technique, a hallmark of their time. The earrings are adorned with 76 natural rose cut diamonds, set on foil to enhance their radiance—a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. Without the diamond weight, a common trait in antique rose cuts, their allure is undiminished, evoking a bygone era of refined elegance and understated luxury.
