The two principal diamonds, perfectly matched, display a very fine white color as well as clarity estimated in the VS to SI categories, a quality frequently found in the finest creations of this era. Their soft and deep brilliance, combined with their broad hand-cut facets, gives them an incomparable presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central diamonds are delicately suspended beneath a succession of old-cut diamonds and rectangular elements set with baguette diamonds, creating a subtle movement that brings the light to life with every gesture. The whole bears witness to the exceptional refinement of interwar jewelry workshops, when platinum made it possible to create settings of unprecedented fineness and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt Deco drop earrings retaining their original substantial antique diamonds are particularly sought after today. Examples featuring main stones of this size, perfectly matched and mounted in such an elegant composition, are becoming increasingly rare on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrigin: France (probably)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriod: circa 1925-1935 (Art Deco)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetal: platinum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo principal old cushion-cut diamonds, approximately 2.50 carats each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld-cut accent diamonds and baguette diamonds on the upper elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstimated total weight: more than 5 carats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine white color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstimated clarity: VS to SI, characteristic of quality diamonds used in high jewelry of this period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery fine fire and broad reflections characteristic of old cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: excellent condition for an antique; supple articulations, secure settings, and a very beautiful visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Art Deco marked the height of an aesthetic based on geometry, balance, and modernity. The jewelers of this period favored refined compositions that highlighted the intrinsic quality of the stones rather than decorative abundance. The use of platinum made it possible to create almost invisible settings, enhancing the impression that the diamonds float freely in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe old-cut diamonds that make up this pair were fashioned by hand, long before the modern standardization of proportions. Each stone thus possesses a unique personality, with a deeper and more romantic fire than that of contemporary diamonds. The substantial 2.50-carat cushion-cut diamonds, preserved in their original Art Deco setting and accompanied by baguette diamonds typical of the period, now form a particularly desirable ensemble for collectors of antique jewelry and admirers of the great creations of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Heritage antique jewels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54589670588745,"sku":"C14","price":34950.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/5311\/1432\/files\/mp_51929_0.png?v=1781303989","url":"https:\/\/58facettes.com\/products\/art-deco-pendants-d-oreilles-en-platine-et-diamants-anciens","provider":"58 Facettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
