Description

These stunning, fine and impressive antique Art Deco diamond earrings have been crafted in platinum with 18ct yellow gold fittings.

Each drop earring bears an impressive tear-shaped terminal ornamented with thirty-one Old European cut diamonds, in a combination of pavé and collet settings.

The centre of the Art Deco terminals are embellished with impressive collet set feature 0.18ct and 0.17ct Old European round cut diamonds, each surmounted with a single pavé set diamond.

The tapering linear drop of each earring is ornamented with graduating pavé set diamonds, accented with a paired leaf design to the lower portion.

These finely crafted and detailed earrings are the finest of their type you could hope to acquire; the use of Old European diamonds across the whole setting indicates the high quality of the pieces.

Such Art Deco diamond drop earrings are best suited to occasions that celebrate elegance, glamour and lasting significance, combining the refined geometry of the Art Deco period with the timeless brilliance of diamonds.

These antique Art Deco drop earrings date from 1930 and are formed from platinum paired with 18 carat yellow gold fittings. Each item takes an articulated design incorporating an openwork tear-shaped terminal and a tapering linear top section set throughout with eighty-six Old European cut diamonds. The total diamond weight reaches 2.25 carats, complemented by millegrain edging and a central hanging stone within each teardrop frame. Fastening is achieved via an 18 carat yellow gold post and butterfly fitting located to the reverse. Measuring 0.309 cm in height, 1.39 cm in width, and 5 cm in depth, these earrings function as personal adornment for formal wear and special occasions. The silver-coloured platinum metalwork presents a polished finish that highlights the geometric configuration typical of the period style. The pieces are supplied with gemstone grading documentation confirming colour and clarity specifications.

Art Deco jewellery from the 1930s is defined by geometric symmetry, clean linear silhouettes, and monochromatic colour palettes. The movement favoured platinum and clear diamonds to achieve a sleek aesthetic influenced by modern architecture and machine-age design.

Jewellers during the Art Deco period predominantly used platinum for its structural strength and high-lustre white finish, alongside diamonds. Construction techniques often incorporated millegrain decorative edging, openwork platinum filigree, and articulated drops.

Authentic 1930s pieces often exhibit hand-applied millegrain textures, platinum hallmarks, and Old European or single-cut diamonds. Settings typically feature geometric openwork patterns, grain settings, and hand-fitted articulated joints rather than modern cast components.

Antique diamond drop earrings complement contemporary evening wear, tailored suits, or modern bridal attire. The white platinum setting and clear stones allow them to pair easily with other white gold or platinum accessories.

Platinum and diamond earrings should be cleaned using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush. Regular professional inspections are recommended to ensure the stone settings, claws, and articulated connections remain secure.
