Description from the seller
Ancient Monachina Earrings in Rococo Style – 1940s/1950s. Italy.
Two diamonds cut European cut for ~2.00 ct total.
A fascinating testimony of mid-20th century high jewelry, this pair of monachina earrings embodies the stylistic transition between the late 1940s and early 1950s. The setting stands out for a sophisticated pierced-inlay work in Rococo style, a tribute to the sinuous and baroque lines that the master jewelers of the era reinterpreted with extraordinary structural lightness.

• Decorative style: Rococo / French Baroque revisited

• Total weight: 4.10 grams
• Overall dimensions: 1.60 cm (height) x 1.30 cm (width)
Analysis of the Central Diamonds
• Number of stones: 2 natural diamonds
• Carat weight: about 1.00 ct each (Total: ~2.00 ct)
• Cut: Old European Cut

• Diamond Clarity Grade 1: SI1 (Slightly Included 1 – very small internal inclusions visible only under magnification)
• Diamond Clarity Grade 2: SI2 (Slightly Included 2 – small inclusions that do not compromise brilliance and natural transparency)
