ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

A beautiful matched pair of sparkling European-cut diamonds, totaling 3.50 carats, shine bright in this pair of yellow gold solitaire earrings. This scintillating pair was hand-cut circa 1900 when diamond cutters fashioned them according to the dictates of nature and his or her (yes there were women diamond cutters) artistic impulses to make the most beautiful and valuable stone possible, as compared with today's cookie cutter approach of creating diamonds that all look alike. The beauty of antique diamonds, compared to their modern counterparts, are the individual characteristics which distinguishes each and every stone. For the connoisseur of fine antique diamonds, a perfect earring that can be worn and enjoyed everywhere. These sizable diamonds measure 5/16ths inch in diameter and are fitted with a screw post for added security.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
