19th Century French Long Drop 18ct Gold Rose Cut Diamond Earrings feed-condition-used which became popular around 1880These dramatic earrings are composed of over 2. 2 carats of rose cut diamonds set in 18ct gold. A larger stone suspends a chain of diamonds, which holds a diamond cluster set with a larger dangling diamond. This centre stone is given extra movement by being suspended on its own hook. The effect is grand and exquisite, and the rose cut stones have a subtlety that is often not found in later brilliant cut diamonds. By candlelight they are simply divine.
