FAQs

Mid-century diamond drop earrings are fine jewellery pieces produced between the late 1940s and 1960s, characterised by articulated designs that suspend diamonds below the earlobe.

Jewellery from this era typically utilised white gold or platinum settings alongside natural diamonds, featuring hand-crafted lever-back or post fastenings.

Authentic pieces display period precious metal hallmarks, articulated link construction, and transitional or old European cut diamonds rather than modern laser-cut stones.

These articulated designs pair well with formal evening wear or add a refined detail when worn alongside modern tailored garments.

Clean gently using a soft brush and warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals, and periodically inspect the lever-back hinges and claw settings with a professional jeweller.
