Magnificent Victorian era 18K gold diamond ruby arrow fringe earrings
These rare antique 18K gold earrings have everything we love: originality, fine workmanship, the quality of the gems, without mentioning the clever use of the fringe which offer a lot of lightness when they move.
On the top, it features an arrow made of a red ruby and a rose cut diamond on each side. The ruby shows a vivid and saturated red color, it measures 3.5mm in diameter. The diamond measures 2mm in diameter. There are 6 fringes attached on the bottom: they are articulated and move well. The earrings are made in 18K yellow gold and they dated back to the mid 19th century, circa 1860s, the Victorian era.
The geometric lines of the arrows and of the fringe add a contemporary feel to the design while the use of the buttery gold make them look extremely glamourous. The earrings have the wire closing for pierced ears. They are highly collectible and solid enough to be worn every day.
