Antique Ruby Diamond Earrings 18k
Antique cluster earrings set with natural rubies and Old European Cut diamonds in 18k white gold.
This delectable earrings are very petite, even though they appear bigger in photos. At 1.9cm, these are original ‘asymmetrical’ ear studs, before mid-century fashion popularised such styles, in what we now recognised as ‘Old Hollywood’ glamour.
Of Straits Chinese history, and precisely because they reflect the culture’s love for phoenix and leaf-like formations, you get this pair in unusually delicate proportions. If bigger the pair is not as perfect. Each cluster sit like a stud with just a wee part reaching outside the earlobe circumference, a fetching effect.
The stones in these earrings are excellent, even in low light their sparkle is uncompromised (photos show the contrast in white and red is so nice with or in dim light, and perhaps even nicer in the dark!).
The rubies weigh approximately 0.6ctw and the diamonds weigh around 1.3ctw.
