Antique Victorian 18k Gold Buttercup Old Mine Cut Diamond Drop Dangle Earrings

A pair of golden blossoms for your ears; radiant, romantic and over a century in bloom.
These antique Victorian drop earrings feature two captivating old mine cut diamonds, each nestled in delicate buttercup settings crafted from rich 18k yellow gold. With their soft I/J colour and soulful sparkle, the diamonds weigh a combined approximate 1.00 carat and are full of the charm and character only hand-cut stones can hold. Suspended from classic wire hook closures with 16k gold backs, these earrings sway with gentle movement catching the light, whispering of eras past and carrying a kind of quiet grandeur that modern jewellery just can’t mimic.
