AC Silver has dated these Art Deco Diamond Earrings to the 1930s.

Each opposing asymmetrical earring is ornamented with an impressive, central feature four claw set transitional modern brilliant round cut diamond, totalling 0.50ct.
The interlacing scalloped settings are further ornamented with thirty-four pavé set transitional modern brilliant round cut diamonds.

These 1930s platinum earrings secure to the reverse with an 18ct white gold post and depressing fitment style fastening, providing a secure and comfortable fit; this style of fastening indicates the high quality of the pieces.

These impressive examples of 1930s jewellery are hallmarked to the posts with the French platinum import mark (masked man) and gold mark (owl) and have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as platinum and 18ct gold.

The 1930s diamond earrings fastenings are further hallmarked with the French 18ct gold mark (eagle's head) and maker's mark (GA), 'ALPA' and the fastening manufacturers mark 'MECAN'.
These antique diamond earrings are supplied with two IDGL diamond grading certificates for the feature diamonds, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
