Antique and Vintage 26.80ct Burmese Ruby and 15.50ct Diamond, 18ct Yellow Gold Drop Earrings

1940 - 1960
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive pair of 26.80 carat Burmese ruby and 15.50 carat diamond, 18 carat yellow gold chandelier drop earrings; part of our antique ruby jewellery collections.

These stunning, fine and impressive chandelier drop earrings are crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

These stunning earrings are each ornamented to the upper portion with six stunning vintage (circa 1950) pear cut Burmese rubies and eight antique (circa 1900) Old European round cut diamond, all individually claw set in a layered formation in an asymmetrical floriated design.

Each cluster design supports a stunning and imposing, articulating cascading drop comprised of ten further pear cut Burmese rubies, incorporating nine Old European round cut diamonds.

These ruby earrings for pierced ears secure to the reverse with a post and hinged latch fastening.

The bracket of each flower earring fastening bears the 18ct gold mark (750) and these ruby earrings have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold.

These stunning ruby and diamond earrings are supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card*.

Ruby and diamond chandelier earrings are a bold and opulent gift, suited to milestone occasions such as 40th anniversaries, significant birthdays, or Valentine's Day. Their vivid hue and cascading form offer exceptional elegance, making them ideal for formal black-tie events.

NOTE: * The Gemmological Certification Services (GCS) lab has verbally (report number 5785-1546) accredited the rubies originating in Mong Hsu (Burma) and verifies that a random test of the gemstones show indications of clarity enhancement with moderate residue in healed fissures.

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.

Condition

These vintage earrings are excellent quality, set with impressive rubies displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance; although the diamonds are clarity graded at P1, they predominantly show no unsightly black inclusions.

The earrings are an excellent gauge of gold and are in excellent condition, with a clear hallmark to the fastening.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these stunning ruby and diamond chandelier earrings.

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.

Ruby drop earrings feature gemstones suspended below the earlobe, often arranged in floral or geometric clusters that accentuate movement, a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century high jewellery design.

Pieces of this caliber traditionally combine natural Burmese rubies, round or brilliant-cut diamonds, and 18ct yellow gold or platinum mountings designed to securely showcase complex gemstone arrangements.

Authenticity is established through independent gemological certification verifying the absence of heat treatment, along with period-correct gold hallmarks and hand-finished claw settings.

Statement gemstone earrings are best paired with minimalist formal attire, such as an off-the-shoulder gown or tailored tuxedo suit, allowing the red gemstones to serve as the primary focal point.

Store each earring individually in a soft fabric pouch to avoid scratching, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoid exposure to ultrasonic cleaners or chemical solvents.
