Antique 28.0ct Colombian Emerald 0.50ct Diamond Silver & 14K Gold Drop Earrings
Presented is a pair of antique emerald and diamond silver and gold drop earrings.
These rare earrings feature a pair of large size Colombian emeralds with old mine and rose cut diamonds. The earrings themselves are made of silver and gold as was customary towards the later part of the 1800’s.
The color of the emeralds contrasts very well with the patina and the old cut diamonds add a special touch to these earrings. Together with the emeralds, these earrings have an impressive show and although being very old they are still good to wear and have many more years ahead of them.
The Colombian emeralds in these earrings weigh approximately 28.0 carats total; these emeralds have bright green color with natural inclusions showing.
The diamonds in these earrings are old mine and rose cut weighing approximately 0.50 carats total; these diamonds are H to I color and SI to I clarity.
These earrings are made of silver and 14K yellow gold plus they weigh 11.7 grams total.
Each earring measures 42mm by 15mm and they have pierce clip backs to hold securely on the ear.
These earrings are presented with normal wear and rich patina. They are good to wear but one should handle these earrings with care to allow them to continue to age gracefully as they have all these years.
