Fine Quality Archaeological Revival Diamond Earrings

One of our most pleasing new finds; this pair of antique Victorian era Etruscan Revival style old mine-cut Diamond stud earrings. Crafted by hand with the greatest care and precision, these earrings date to the 1860's/70's and reflect the interest at the time in the archaeological findings in Etruria which were excitedly being shewn in museums across Europe. The design centred around gorgeous little hand faceted Diamonds, with beautifully harmonious granulation and ropework, they are modelled in 15ct Gold (a standard used solely in Britain between 1854-1932), we have had the older screw fittings replaced with 18ct Gold posts and scrolls to bring them up to date. The earrings measure 1cm across the face.
