These French Edwardian drop earrings take the form of an 18ct yellow gold pair set with old cut diamonds in coronet claw mountings. The polished yellow gold surfaces complement the bright white and clean stones, which include 2.5 mm and 5 mm old cut diamonds, all secured in their original settings with visible hallmarks comprising an eagle's head and a serial number, alongside minor surface wear commensurate with age. The total drop length from the top of the hook measures 25 mm with a width of 10 mm, designed specifically for pierced ears with a leverback drop mount. They add a sophisticated sparkle to evening wear or elevate everyday outfits when worn for special occasions, dinners, and celebrations.

FAQs

Edwardian diamond drop earrings, produced between 1901 and 1915, are known for light, articulated designs, fine metalwork, and delicate settings that showcase hand-cut diamonds with maximum light reflection.

Pieces from this era typically feature 18ct yellow gold, platinum, or platinum-fronted gold mountings set with old mine or old European cut diamonds.

Authentic French pieces often bear specific French gold hallmarks, such as the eagle head mark for 18ct gold, along with hand-cut diamond facets and characteristic leverback or dormeuse closures.

These classic drop earrings transition seamlessly from formal eveningwear to contemporary tailored outfits, adding historical detail to modern minimalist fashion.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, ensuring settings and hinges are thoroughly dried, and store separately in a fabric-lined box to avoid abrasion.
