Earrings - 18 kt. White gold Diamond (Natural)

Antique Monachina earrings in Rococo style – 1940s/1950s. Italy. Two diamonds cut in European cut, totaling approximately 2.00 ct. Fascinating testimony to mid-20th century high jewelry, this pair of monachina earrings embodies the stylistic transition between the late 1940s and the early 1950s. The setting is distinguished by a sophisticated pierced, interlocking Rococo-style workmanship, an homage to the sinuous and Baroque lines that the master goldsmiths of the era reinterpreted with extraordinary structural lightness. Details of the Setting and Era • Period: Vintage (Approximately 1940 - 1950) • Decorative style: Rococo / Revised French Baroque • Design: Artistic pierced manufacture with scrolls and symmetrical interlocks • Closure type: Monachina (rear flexible hook with safety latch) • Overall weight: 4.10 grams • Overall dimensions: 1.60 cm (height) x 1.30 cm (width) Analysis of the Central Diamonds • Number of gems: 2 natural diamonds • Weight/Carat: approximately 1.00 ct each (Total: approximately 2.00 ct) • Cut: Old European Cut • Color grade: Grade H (White Extra / Wesselton) for both stones, excellently enhanced by the setting • Diamond Clarity Grade 1: SI1 (Slightly Included 1 – very tiny internal inclusions detectable only under magnification) • Diamond Clarity Grade 2: SI2 (Slightly Included 2 – small inclusions localized, which do not compromise brilliance and natural transparency) Will be shipped in a gift box with tracked and insured shipping. A Gemological certificate of the stones and an authenticity certificate of the item detailing the characteristics of the stones and the gold of our jewelry house will be issued.
