ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Dating back to the late-19th century/turn-of-the-20th-century, these delightful diamond drop earrings seriously scintillate with a beautiful, bright white and sparkling pair of old mine cushion-cut diamonds - together weighing 3.30 carats. (The beauty of antique and vintage diamonds, compared to their modern counterparts, are the individual characteristics which distinguish each and every stone. Rather than strictly adhering to cookie-cutter formulas, the diamond cutters of yore viewed each rough diamond as an ancient Greek or Roman sculptor viewed a rough piece of marble, and proceeded to fashion it according to the dictates of nature and his own artistic impulses to make the most valuable stone possible.) The twin diamonds radiate from within elegant 18K rose gold settings, each topped with a tiny twinkling cushion-cut diamond and fitted with lever backs. Simply stunning!

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.
