Diamond - 14 kt. - Yellow gold, White gold - Earrings

Art Deco set clip-on earrings – 14 karat yellow and white gold – four vintage diamonds – “1930–1950”

Elegant vintage earrings with a pronounced geometric Art Deco design, presumably manufactured in the period circa 1930–1950.

The elongated, openwork pendants are made in 14-karat yellow gold and feature contrasting white gold central elements and diamond settings. Each earring is set with two small round brilliant diamonds, so the pair contains a total of four diamonds weighing approximately 0.08–0.14 ct.
The stones have been positively tested with a diamond tester.

Under strong magnification the diamonds show visible inclusions and the characteristic, somewhat irregular faceting that can occur with older-cut stones. Suspected old brilliant or transition cut. In one stone there is a small irregularity at the edge, possibly a surface-reaching inclusion or an age-related trace. See the detailed macro photographs.

The diamonds are mounted in elevated, individually built white gold prong settings. The slightly irregular shape of the prongs and the construction from several parts indicate largely artisanal craftsmanship.

The yellow gold outer frame has a refined, lightly granular and hammered surface texture. This decorative finish enhances the authentic character of the earrings and gives the gold a warm, vivid appearance.

The earrings feature original adjustable screw closures and can therefore be worn without holes. Both screw buttons are individually stamped with the gold hallmark 585, which corresponds to 14-karat gold. The gold has also been positively tested with 14-karat testing fluid.

The clean lines, open geometric construction and the combination of yellow and white gold give the pair a distinctive Art Deco look. A stylish and wearable vintage jewelry piece for lovers and collectors of antique gold jewelry.
