Antique Victorian C. 1870 2 Carat Old Mine Cut Yellow Diamond Earrings

Victorian jewelers loved to set a diamond in silver topped rose gold so the diamond reads whiter against that cool grey. Nearly two centuries later, the patina appears soft and mysterious with age. At the center of these drop earrings are near-1 carat antique, old mine cushion shape yellow diamonds, hand cut by intuition bringing sparkle under candlelight. Providing the chunky facets and open culets that draw your eyes inward and a warm, golden body color. The diamond clusters swing on lever backs just below the lobe, giving a little bit of motion. They feel just as alive as they did 200 years ago.
