A pair of diamond drop earrings, each with an old-cut diamond estimated to weigh 0.65 carats milligram-set in platinum collet and surrounded by a circular frame with day-light in between, suspended by a run of three small old-cut diamonds and white gold wire hook fittings embellished with seven small round brilliant-cut diamonds, all diamonds estimated to weigh 2 carats in total and assessed to be of H-I colour and SI1-2 clarity, mounted in platinum, yellow and white gold, circa 1930 and later, later hallmarked 18ct gold, London, measuring 3.9 x 0.9cm, gross weight 4.4 grams.

A pair of elegant 1930s drop earrings. These earrings feature romantic scintillating old-cut diamonds within a delicate platinum frame. The gap between the diamonds and the frame surrounding adds a nice detail to the earrings and showcases the diamonds’ sparkle, allowing light to pass through. These earrings were made in the 1930s, and are delicate and dainty in appearance, which contrasted against the heavier styles which were popular at the time. These earrings would look perfect with an elegant evening cocktail dress.
