• Fixing: Nine-carat gold ear wires, supplied with tiny silicone "keepers" to pop on the ends for security.

• Hallmarks/stamps: None found.

• Era: Estimated mid-20th century, possibly earlier.

• Size: 1.5cm from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the diamond. The diamonds are approx 4mm (at a rough estimate around half a carat total).

FAQs

Victorian jewellery often incorporated dark gemstones like onyx alongside diamonds to symbolise mourning, remembrance, or formal elegance, particularly popularised during the mid-to-late 19th century.

Authentic period pieces were typically handcrafted from yellow gold, often featuring hand-cut diamonds such as old European or rose cuts, set alongside polished hardstones like black onyx.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-fabricated settings, subtle irregularities in gemstone cuts characteristic of manual faceting, and period-appropriate closure mechanisms such as wire hooks or secure lever-backs.

These sophisticated pieces pair well with formal evening attire or add a touch of historical contrast to minimalist modern outfits, allowing the contrasting black and white stones to serve as a focal point.

Store pieces individually in lined boxes to prevent scratching, avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to sensitive stone settings, and have the mounts inspected periodically by a professional jeweller.
