Large platinum earrings with approx. 7.50 ct old-cut diamonds, circa 1985

These vintage earrings are made to be seen. Crafted from platinum and set with a total of 7.50 ct of old-cut diamonds, they combine the best of two worlds: the romantic design language of the late Victorian era and the generous dimensions of the 1980s. Magnificent, diamond-set bows sit at the top, while slightly curved hearts swing below, also set close together with fine diamonds. Bows as a sign of connection and hearts as symbols of love have been recurring elements of romantic love gifts for centuries. However, while antique earrings of this type are generally much smaller and more delicate, this design is larger, bolder and shinier. This is exactly what makes this pair of earrings so special: they offer all the charm of historical models and even use historical material in the form of antique diamonds, but in a size that cannot be overlooked at balls, receptions or gala evenings. The old-cut diamonds, each cut by hand, radiate a lively, warm fire - unlike modern brilliant-cut diamonds, more romantic, more individual, almost like small sources of light from times gone by. Together, they create a breathtaking spectacle that is already effective by candlelight, but explodes in the spotlight. In short: these earrings are not just pieces of jewellery, they are garnets for a grand entrance. They give the wearer exactly what they need sometimes: a stage, a sparkle - and plenty of admiring glances. The pair came to us from Hamburg. It comes with an external appraisal.
