Antique 4.37ct Diamond and 18ct White Gold Drop Earrings Circa 1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive pair of antique 4.37 carat diamond and 18 carat white gold earrings; part of our diverse 1930s diamond jewellery collections.

These stunning, fine and impressive antique 1930s diamond earrings have been crafted in 18ct white gold with platinum settings.

Each earring has a feature circular terminal ornamented with a principal claw set Old European cut diamond to the centre.

The feature setting suspends from an articulated link drop, with an alternating single collet set diamond and marquise shaped setting bearing three pavé set eight cut diamonds.

Each earring is embellished with a further Old European round cut diamond, collet set to the apex, completing the design.

The reverse of each earring incorporates a safety chain, allowing for movement whilst keeping the feature terminal securely attached to the fastening.

These diamond drop earrings, for pierced ears, secure to the reverse with a post and push fit fastening.

The post and fastening both bear the French hallmark for 18ct gold (eagle's head) and these stunning drop earrings have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold and platinum.

These impressive 1920s earrings are supplied with two IDGL diamond grading report certificates for the feature stones, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.

Such original antique examples featuring larger, evenly colour-matched feature diamonds are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, reflecting the quality of the goldsmith’s selection of well-matched diamonds throughout.

These 1930s platinum diamond drop earrings combine elegant proportions with the enduring brilliance of diamonds. The platinum setting provides a refined, cool-toned finish, enhancing the sparkle of the gemstones while offering lasting durability. Its graceful drop design creates delicate movement and understated sophistication, making it particularly suited to weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or formal occasions. Its antique character and timeless elegance give it lasting appeal as a distinctive addition to a fine jewellery collection.

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 impressive antique drop earrings are excellent quality, set with stunning feature diamonds displaying fine white colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive supporting diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance; although some diamonds are clarity graded at P1, they show no unsightly black inclusions.

The earrings are an excellent gauge of white gold and platinum and are in excellent condition, with clear hallmarks to the butterfly and post.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these stunning examples of antique diamond drop earrings.

These Art Deco drop earrings date from 1930 and comprise a pair of linear articulated links manufactured in 18ct white gold and platinum with a silver colour. Each piece incorporates multiple round and marquise-shaped settings containing numerous diamonds, terminating in a large round diamond drop. Individual elements include millegrain edging, geometric settings, a safety chain on the reverse, and a post with a push-fit fastening bearing a French eagle's head hallmark. Measuring 0.636 cm high, 0.983 cm wide, and 4.1 cm deep, these earrings are designed for pierced ears. They suit formal occasions, weddings, anniversaries, and milestone birthdays, functioning as a fine jewellery addition for wear on special events.

Art Deco earrings from the 1930s are characterised by geometric silhouettes, linear articulated links, and platinum or white gold settings paired with diamonds.

1930s drop earrings typically feature 18ct white gold or platinum, millegrain-bordered settings, and hand-cut diamonds such as old European or transitional cuts.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate gemstone cuts, hand-applied millegrain edging, platinum or 18ct gold purity hallmarks, and fine articulated construction rather than modern cast imitations.

Linear diamond drop earrings complement clean-lined eveningwear, silk tailored suits, or strapless gowns, adding vertical structure and light reflection to formal attire.

Clean gently using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners if stones or mounts show delicate age-related wear.
