Vintage Art Deco 5.10ct Mozambique Ruby and 5.38ct Diamond 18ct Yellow Gold Drop Earrings Circa 1945

1920 - 1940
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive pair of 5.10 carat Mozambique natural ruby and 5.38 carat diamond, 18 carat yellow gold and 18 carat white gold set drop earrings - boxed; part of our vintage ruby jewellery collections.

These stunning, fine and impressive vintage ruby earrings are crafted in 18ct yellow gold with 18ct white gold settings.

These stunning earrings bear a central articulating navette shaped setting ornamented with a stunning collet set 0.65ct and 0.63ct marquise cut diamond, each surmounting five pavé set eight cut diamonds.

Each feature setting is encompassed with an Art Deco style halo design ornamented with twenty-one diamonds, in a combination of Old European and eight cuts.

The outer circumference of each halo design incorporates convex collar designs to the upper portion, accented with radiating collet set baguette cut diamonds, in a splayed curvilinear formation.

The lower border of the design is embellished with seven channel set calibre cut Mozambique rubies, in a splayed Art Deco stepped design.

The upper portion of the halo design bears a yellow gold collet set rectangular cut Mozambique ruby flanked between two white gold collet set Old European cut diamonds.

The feature settings suspend from a further splayed, stepped Art Deco setting, each ornamented with eleven further channel set Mozambique rubies.

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

The 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*.

These stunning earrings are fitted to a hinged leatherette presentation box with a satin and velvet lined interior, securing with a push fit catch; this associate box is from a later period to the earrings.

These exquisite Art Deco ruby and diamond earrings are a glamorous and meaningful choice. The vibrant red rubies make them perfect for anniversaries - especially the 40th (ruby) anniversary - or as a romantic gesture for Valentine's Day. Their geometric Art Deco design, enhanced by sparkling diamonds, makes them ideal for milestone birthdays, special celebrations, or as an indulgent treat for those who admire timeless Art Deco sophistication.

NOTE: * The Gemmological Certification Services (GCS) lab has verbally (report number 5785-3871) accredited the rubies originating in Mozambique and verifies that a random test of the gemstones show indications of heating with minor to 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 in these gold, ruby and diamond earrings.

Condition

These vintage Art Deco drop earrings are exceptional quality, set with impressive rubies displaying fine colour and brilliance.

The stunning feature diamonds display fine brilliance and presence; larger diamonds such as this will often appear whiter than the colour grading suggests.

The impressive supporting diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

The earrings are an exceptional gauge of gold and are in exceptional condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these stunning examples of vintage ruby jewellery.

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.

Art Deco jewellery from the 1940s often bridges classic geometric Art Deco forms with the bolder, sculptural gold volumes of the Retro era. Common characteristics include symmetrical fan or sunburst motifs, step-cut rubies, calibre-cut stones, and contrasting diamond halos.

During the 1940s, 18ct yellow gold returned to prominence alongside platinum and white gold accents. Gemstones typically included high-clarity diamonds in brilliant, baguette, and marquise cuts, frequently paired with vibrant red rubies or sapphires.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-finished details such as millegrain edging, custom-cut calibre or baguette gemstones, and period-correct hallmarking on the post or drop settings. Construction methods often include multi-tier platinum or yellow gold mountings.

Statement drop earrings are typically paired with clean, minimalist evening wear to allow the geometric form and colour contrast of the gemstones to serve as the focal point of the attire.

Clean vintage jewellery gently using a soft brush, mild detergent, and lukewarm water, ensuring the settings are dried thoroughly. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners if stones feature natural oil treatments.
