Antique 18K gold diamond flower earrings in original box
Step back in time with these exceptional antique earrings from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, a stunning example of Georgian era craftsmanship. During this period, European jewelers drew on a rich history of design, often incorporating themes from the natural world. Flora became a dominant motif, and these remarkable flower earrings are a testament to that inspiration.
Carefully crafted in two layers, these earrings feature a total of 14 sparkling rose-cut diamonds, meticulously set to create a lively, three-dimensional floral design. The layers add depth and dimension, making the flowers appear almost lifelike. The diamonds, with a total estimated weight of 1.6 carats, are foiled back and mounted on silver, which is then delicately set onto 18K gold—a typical and sought-after technique of the 18th century.
The diamonds catch and reflect light beautifully, ensuring that these earrings dazzle under the sun and draw admiring glances. The earrings are presented in their original fit box, underscoring the care and love they have received over the centuries from their previous owners.
These earrings are not just accessories; they are a piece of history, carrying with them the artistry of a bygone era. Perfectly preserved, they offer a glimpse into the exquisite craftsmanship and timeless beauty of Georgian jewelry design.
The earrings have the back to front closing for pierced ears and they convey the French horse head hallmark for 18K gold.
