Vintage 9ct Gold Zircon Drop Earrings

1940 - 1960
Description

Pretty Art Deco-style earrings with super-sparkly white stones mounted in crown settings and separated by nine-carat gold knife-edge bars. The gems are believed to be zircons (not to be confused with cubic zirconia) which mostly originate from Sri Lanka and have been appreciated for centuries for their diamond-like fiery brilliance.

• Condition: Excellent vintage condition.

• Stamps/hallmarks: Lovely crisp hallmarks on each bar for nine-carat gold, Chester, 1953.

• Fixing: Nine-carat gold butterflies.

• Size: 2.2cm long. The smaller zircons measure approximately 3.5mm and the larger ones 6mm.

• Weight: 1.5g.

The antique box pictured is not included.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

These 1950 Art Deco-style earrings comprise a pair of nine-carat yellow gold linear drop earrings. Each earring suspends a round white zircon within a crown setting above a knife-edge bar and a larger bottom round stone. The visible details include delicate claw settings, polished gold metal surfaces, and crisp hallmarks on the bars. The box shown includes a cream satin lining, a textured snakeskin-patterned exterior, and a small metal clasp. Measuring 2.2 cm high, 0.6 cm wide, and 0.3 cm deep, these earrings offer a refined vintage accent. Suitable for daily wear or evening occasions, these earrings integrate easily into personal jewellery collections today. They sit comfortably against the earlobe and add a subtle sparkle to any outfit. The timeless design pairs well with both contemporary and traditional attire, making them a versatile addition to a dressing table or jewellery box.

FAQs

Drop earrings feature a gemstone or design motif that hangs below the earlobe, suspended via a hook, post, or articulated metal bar.

These items typically feature solid yellow gold alloys, such as 9ct or 18ct, set with natural zircons, diamonds, or clear paste stones mounted in metal claw settings.

Authentic pieces carry official purity hallmarks, such as 375 for 9ct gold, alongside era-appropriate construction details like hand-cut claws and fine articulation links.

Linear drop earrings provide subtle vertical accentuation, making them suitable for formal evening wear or elevated minimalist attire.

Clean gently using warm water with mild detergent and a soft-bristled brush, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth before storing in a padded case.
