1.24 Antique Victorian Diamond Earrings 14k & Sterling Silver

These antique Victorian drop earrings feature old mine cut diamonds set in 14 karat yellow gold with a sterling silver overlay. Two center diamonds, each measuring 3.75mm and weighing .21 carats, sit at the top of each drop in a collet setting, joined by four smaller accent diamonds at 2.75mm and .075 carats each. Total diamond weight reaches 2.22 carats, with 1.24 carats concentrated in the old mine cut center stones alone.

The I-J color grade gives these diamonds a faint warm tint instead of a stark white, which suits the yellow gold setting naturally. SI1 clarity means any inclusions stay hidden to the naked eye, so the stones look clean and bright. Old mine cut diamonds have a deep, high crown with large facets, throwing off warm, candlelight-style flashes rather than the sharp fire of modern round brilliants.

Fishhook backings keep the earrings secure and comfortable for extended wear, and the sterling silver overlay adds a soft, silvery cast to the yellow gold beneath.
