Straits Vintage Diamond Chandelier Earrings 22k
Vintage Diamond Chandelier Earrings
Mid-century Straits earrings set with natural diamonds in 22k.
The diamonds are white and clean, of older transitional cuts, weighing 4 carats in all.
This is a pair of mid length chandelier earrings, at 5.5cm long.
The older pairs were always built in dainty proportions, since Straits Chinese chandelier earrings are desired for their ‘flighty’ (weightless) beauty.
The daintiness of this pair is what makes it different from a boxier version of many retro offerings.
When worn, there is a wonderful distribution of weight and coyness, not too light but no tugging on the earlobes.
The Orient version of the Victorian hanging basket, wearable however casual, but celebratory.
The setting of stones in this way delineates each diamond, enhancing their size, in high karat yellow gold the antique look of a dainty form.
