Vintage 3ct Emerald and 4.26ct Diamond Platinum and Palladium Earrings Circa 1945

1920 - 1940
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive pair of vintage 3 carat emerald and 4.26 carat diamond, platinum and palladium earrings; part of our diverse emerald jewellery collections.

These stunning, fine and impressive vintage emerald and diamond earrings have been crafted in platinum and palladium.

The pierced decorated interlacing lobed earrings are each ornamented with a feature oval cabochon cut emerald, claw set in subtle relief to the centre of the design, totalling 3cts.

The emeralds are each encompassed by twelve eight cut diamonds, creating a scalloped cluster border.

Each earring is further embellished with ten individually claw set diamonds, in a combination of transitional modern brilliant round, Old European and marquise cuts; five stones emanate from a linear pale in a splayed arrangement to one side.

The wireworked lobed portion of the settings are each terminated with a rope twist decorated arch design, enhancing the naturalistic motif of the earrings and completing the design.

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

The earrings have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 50% platinum and 50% palladium.

These impressive vintage cluster earrings are supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card, in addition to an emerald report card and certificate supplied by the Gemmological Certification Services, London*.

These fine vintage emerald earrings with diamonds make an exceptional gift for celebrating love, new beginnings and life's most memorable milestones. Emerald is the May birthstone and has long been given for the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries. This makes vintage emerald and diamond earrings particularly meaningful for May birthdays, milestone anniversaries, weddings, Mother's Day or significant personal achievements.

NOTE: * This documentation certifies that the gemstones show moderate amount of oil in 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 fine earrings are excellent quality, set with impressive emeralds displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The supporting diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

The earrings are an excellent gauge of platinum and palladium and are in excellent condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these fine vintage emerald and diamond earrings.

These vintage earrings from the 1940 period are crafted in platinum and palladium with a silver colour and green gemstones in a Retro style. Each earring contains an oval cabochon emerald centre surrounded by marquise and brilliant-cut diamond clusters. The design includes rope-twist detailing and a floral spray form. Three visible details not mentioned in the dealer's text are the curved arrangement of the wirework, the pointed shape of the marquise diamonds, and the scalloped edges of the central diamond cluster. The dimensions are 0.828 cm high, 2.25 cm wide, and 2.73 cm deep. Intended for personal wear, these earrings secure with a post and hinged latch fastening. They suit formal attire or special evening wear for celebratory events and significant personal milestones.

Jewellery from the 1940s Retro period often features sculptural, three-dimensional forms, floral or ribbon motifs, and bold combinations of platinum, palladium, and diamonds with vibrant coloured gemstones.

Earrings from this period frequently utilised platinum and palladium due to their strength and neutral colour, paired with high-carat precious gemstones such as emeralds, diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.

Authentic pieces typically display period metal hallmarks, hand-finished claw settings, characteristic wirework or rope-twist motifs, and vintage stone cuts such as marquise or old brilliant cuts.

Bold vintage ear clips can be styled with minimal modern evening wear or tailored suiting, allowing the intricate metalwork and coloured gemstones to act as a focal accent.

Emeralds should be cleaned using a dry soft cloth or mild soapy lukewarm water, avoiding chemical solvents and ultrasonic cleaners which can damage the internal structure of natural emeralds.
