Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique plique-à-jour and 3.68 carat diamond, 18 carat yellow gold earring and ring set; part of our antique jewellery and estate jewelry collections.

This stunning, fine and impressive diamond jewellery set consists of a ring and a pair of earrings, each crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

The impressive antique ring is ornamented with a stunning feature claw set 0.75ct Old European round cut diamond.

The symmetrical, curvilinear setting is embellished with two further claw set Old European cut diamonds in a vertical formation, flanked with swept borders of forty pavé set diamonds in a combination of Dutch and eight cuts.

The pierced decorated sides of the ring are each ornamented with a further claw set Old European cut diamond, accented with an organic fanned plique-a-jour design.

The broad, swept ring setting conjoins with a plain hallmarked segmented ring shank.

The impressive antique earrings each bear a central organic plique-à-jour design to the centre, surmounted with a crescent shaped arrangement of claw set diamonds, in a combination of Old European and eight cuts.

Each earring is further embellished with a feature claw set Old European round cut diamond to the articulating terminal, completing the design.

The antique earrings each secure to the reverse with a hinged fastening.

This beautifully crafted 19th century jewellery set is hallmarked with two French import marks for gold (owl) to the hooks and the ring bears the same mark to the side of the shank; each piece has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold.

This impressive antique jewellery set is supplied with an IDGL diamond grading report certificate for the feature stone, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.

This antique enamel and diamond jewellery set is a rare and romantic gift, perfectly suited to life's most meaningful occasions - whether a milestone birthday, an anniversary or a treasured bridal keepsake.

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.

The supporting diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

Plique-a-jour is an enamelling technique where the enamel is applied within a cellular framework with no backing, resembling miniature stained glass. It reached peak popularity during the Art Nouveau period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Victorian fine jewellery frequently utilised 18ct yellow gold, silver-topped gold settings, and old-cut diamonds, often accented with natural gemstones and translucent enamels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut diamonds such as old mine or old European cuts, traditional closed or open-back settings in high-karat gold, and characteristic hand-crafted enamel work showing natural ageing and minute tool marks.

Antique jewellery adds historical depth and unique craftsmanship to contemporary wardrobes, working well as statement evening pieces or paired with minimalist modern attire to create a striking contrast.

Plique-a-jour enamel lacks a metal backing, making it structurally delicate. Pieces should be stored individually in padded boxes, kept away from ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperature changes.
