VICTORIAN OVAL RUBY 2+ctw MINE DIAMOND CLUSTER DROP 18K COCKTAIL EARRINGS c1880

Description: Want to Speak to Mel? Click on 'Contact Seller' and then choose 'Other'. This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE PAIR of COCKTAIL EARRINGS that was made in the LATE VICTORIAN PERIOD around c1880. They are HANDMADE from 18K ROSE GOLD. The earrings are centrally set with 2 synthetic RED RUBIES that weigh approx. 2.15 carats each. The rubies are faceted oval shapes of fine quality and color. Synthetic rubies were typical for the period as natural rubies of this size would be prohibitively expensive, IF attainable at all. The earrings are also set with 32 OLD MINE CUT DIAMONDS of I to M color with SI to I clarity that weigh approx. 2.25 carats! The earrings measure 1-3/16” long by 1/2” at the widest point. The total weight is 6.5 grams. One of the posts is bent downward at the end, but it functions properly so I do not want to attempt to straighten it. These have been my personal earrings for the past 18 years and I have enjoyed wearing them. PERFECT ITEM IF NATURAL RUBIES ARE NOT IN YOUR BUDGET...A UNIQUE PAIR of ORIGINAL ANTIQUE EARRINGS! I have a larger similar pair with all white diamonds available, please inquire. Be sure to SAVE THIS SELLER so our new items show in your feed!

MEL IS HERE TO PROMPTLY HELP! *A NOTE ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHY – Taking pictures of diamonds to be displayed on a computer screen can be difficult, often resulting in the diamonds looking dark (especially rose cut diamonds) when in reality they are not. If you are looking at any of our pictures and feel that the diamonds look dark, please refer to the description of the item that states the accurate color and clarity of the stones. Also, jewelry and/or diamond grading is done under 10X magnification. When you super-size our photos you will see the item in 100X magnification. Please be aware that you may see things that cannot be seen with your eyes or a jeweler’s loupe. Sometimes these images can make the item look distorted or appear to have problems when in reality it is fine. I list only high quality pieces and avoid those with problems or in need of repair unless it is described as such in the listing.

The item must be promptly returned in it's original condition without damage, alteration, repair or signs of wear when examined under a 10x jewelers loupe.
