1.30 Antique Edwardian Sapphire & Diamond Drop Earrings 18k

These antique Edwardian drop earrings feature square step cut blue sapphires bezel set in 18 karat yellow gold, totaling 1.30 carats. The step cut lays out broad, flat planes of color rather than sharp fire, giving each sapphire a deep, saturated blue that reads clean from across a room. Four 2.8mm and two 2.5mm sapphires anchor the design, paired with old mine cut and rough cut diamonds set in 18 karat white gold.

The diamonds add up to .60 carats between the two cuts, with the old mine cuts throwing warm, candlelit sparkle against the cooler white gold. Rough cut accent diamonds bring texture and irregularity, a nod to the hand-faceting methods common in the early 1900s.

Each earring measures 1.75 inches long and finishes on a lever back, keeping them secure while they move with you. The two-tone metalwork- yellow gold framing the sapphires, white gold framing the diamonds- catches light differently depending on the angle.
