Details
Dating to the early 20th century, this glamorous pair of antique Edwardian drop earrings is beautifully fashioned in two-tone 18ct yellow gold and platinum. At the heart of each floral cluster blazes a mesmerising natural zircon of approx. 1.00 carat, its electric blue brilliance framed by delicate milgrain detailing and glittering Old Mine-cut diamond petals. Further diamonds trace the elegant articulated drops, bringing the total weight to approx. 1.70 carats across the pair.
Blue zircon is prized for its exceptional brilliance, clarity and distinctive sea-blue hues, with flashes of green that lend the gemstone an extraordinary inner fire. Paired with the scintillating sparkle of diamonds, the effect is reminiscent of a twilight sky scattered with stars.
Offered in excellent condition and finished with secure shepherd-hook fittings, this captivating pair dances beautifully from each ear, catching the eye and enchanting all who gaze upon them.
