1.51 Antique Old Mine Cut Diamond Drop Earrings 14k/Sterling

These antique Edwardian drop earrings combine 14 karat yellow gold with oxidized sterling silver and Old Mine cut diamonds totaling 1.51 carats. Each earring centers a .37 carat Old Mine cut diamond (totaling .74 carats) surrounded by diamond accents adding .71 carats, all in J color.

Old Mine cut diamonds were hand-cut in the 1700s-1800s with high crowns and small tables, creating a softer glow with chunkier light flashes rather than the intense sparkle of modern cuts.

The oxidized silver finish has intentional darkening that creates antique patina and contrast against the yellow gold and diamonds. Lever back closures provide security while the 11.5mm length keeps these noticeable without being overly long. The bezel settings wrap metal around each diamond for the clean, protective look typical of Edwardian design.
