Corundum and Spinel 18ct Gold and Silver Earrings and Ring

1920 - 1940
Description

A phenomenal set of earrings and ring mounted with large purple gemstones, believed to be colour-changing corundum, and white spinel accent stones, all foil backed for extra sparkle. The pieces are bespoke, almost certainly having been converted from a single earlier piece, perhaps a necklace or bracelet.

• Condition: In very good antique/vintage condition.

• Fixing: The earrings have posts for pierced ears with nice snappy omega back fittings for additional security.

• Hallmarks/stamps: None, which is not unusual after conversions. The pieces test as sterling silver with solid 18-carat gold fittings (the ring shank, the earring backs etc).

• Era: The conversion work is very much 1940s in style and the original jewellery is obviously earlier, possibly dating back to the 19th century.

• Size: All three pieces measure approximately 2.5 x 2.2cm, with the central stone 1 x 1.5cm. The ring is size R (UK), approx 8.5 (US), and can be resized free of charge :)

• Combined weight: 33g.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A gemstone jewellery suite, historically termed a parure or demi-parure, is a coordinated collection of matching jewellery items designed with identical gemstones, metals, and stylistic settings.

Historic and vintage cluster jewellery frequently features silver-topped settings for diamonds or white gemstones to enhance light reflection, backed with solid 18ct gold for strength and durability.

Authentic pieces are identified by evaluating hallmarks on shanks or earring backs, inspecting hand-cut gemstone facet patterns, and observing natural metal oxidisation near multi-stone settings.

Fine jewellery suites can be styled within open presentation boxes placed on vanity tables, mirrored trays, or glass display domes as decorative accents.

Clean gemstone jewellery using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water, avoid chemical dips that alter oxidised details, and store pieces separately in velvet-lined boxes to prevent scratching.
