Want to Speak to Mel? Click on 'Contact Seller' and then choose 'Other'. This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE PAIR of COCKTAIL EARRINGS that was handmade in the EDWARDIAN style, c1910. They are made from 18K GOLD and have a RHODIUM PLATING - you can start to see the yellow gold coming through on the threading of the posts. The earrings are set with 36 OLD MINE CHUNKY DIAMONDS that weigh approx. 2.65 ctw. The 2 largest of these diamonds are centered in the clusters and they are old mine cushion cuts weighing approx. .35 ct and .40 ct. The earrings are also set with 39 ROSE CUT DIAMONDS that weigh approx. .50 ctw. There should be 40, but one of the rose cuts in the bow is missing, not sure if I can replace it. All of the diamonds are in the H to K color range and the VS2 to I clarity range with a total weight os 3.15 ctw. One of the earrings is set with 3 diamonds in the center bar and the other is set with 5, but they were made this way, not damaged. The earrings measure 1-3/4? long with the bows measuring 7/8? at the widest point and the cluster drop measuring 9/16? at the widest point. The total weight is 9 grams. The earrings have screw-on backs and they are marked ARGENTINA 18K. BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENT ? ONE OF A KIND! If interested, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask any questions or for comparison photos.

Taking pictures of diamonds to be displayed on a computer screen can be difficult, often resulting in the diamonds looking dark (especially rose cut diamonds) when in reality they are not. If you are looking at any of our pictures and feel that the diamonds look dark, please refer to the description of the item that states the accurate color and clarity of the stones. Also, jewelry and/or diamond grading is done under 10X magnification. When you super-size our photos you will see the item in 100X magnification. Please be aware that you may see things that cannot be seen with your eyes or a jeweler?s loupe. Sometimes these magnified images can make the item look distorted or appear to have problems when in reality it is fine. I list only high quality pieces and avoid those with problems or in need of repair unless it is described as such in the listing. If you are seeing something that you are not sure of, please inquire about it. REFUND POLICY: The buyer has the right to a refund should the item not be suitable. The item must be promptly returned in its original condition without damage, alteration, repair or signs of wear when examined under a 10x jewelers loupe. Buyer is responsible for return shipping fees unless we have mistakenly misrepresented the item. I realize there is risk on the buyer?s side when bidding on an expensive jewelry item.
