AGE OR ERA: True antique / vintage jewelry item - these are very very old and could very well pre-date the 1800's - rose cut diamonds were used in jewelry as early as the 1500's. The lack of marks may pre-date any metal stamping acts. Guessing Georgian to early Victorian era MARKINGS: None that I could find METAL / MATERIAL: Yellow gold, natural emeralds, and rose cut diamonds. Mixed metal composition with silver or white gold toned bezels around the gemstones. The white or silver toned metal portions test to be platinum - but please be advised that I have low confidence in that result. It honestly looks more like silver to me - but could be sterling, white gold or platinum. I have not cleaned these at all. CLASP / CLOSURE: Lever back closures for pierced ears MEASUREMENTS: About 3/4" long x 1/2" wide. Emeralds each measure 5.7 mm across - in the / including the bezel setting. Diamonds each aprox 2.8 mm - measured including the bezels also. Circles have a diameter of 1/2" across WEIGHT: 3.3 grams on my scale TESTING: Yellow gold tested to be 14k, emeralds and diamonds tested to be genuine gemstones, and the white or silver toned metal is outlined above. If I had to guess I would say it is sterling grade or similar silver. U.S. RING SIZE: x ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, &/or LORE: Earrings are one of the oldest forms of jewelry found to date and were not only worn for aesthetic, artistic, or self-expression reasons as they are today - but often as a symbol of wealth, status, or to signify social or tribal standing. JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): Make a statement with these stunning antique handmade earrings. The 14k gold leverback closure securely holds the circular emerald and rose cut diamond bezel-set stones that dangle elegantly from your earlobes. The intricate design of these earrings makes them a perfect accessory for any special occasion, such as weddings, anniversaries, or proms. They are a unique and rare piece of jewelry that will add a touch of history and beauty to your collection. CONDITION: Great vintage condition - no major flaws found to mention. One old primitive hand cut diamond doesn't quite fill the well as fully as the other - it is not chipped or damaged - just the way it was created. Each earring has a small flattened area or two (I wouldn't even call it a dent or indent - just flat spot) on one edge only that can by seen from just the side, not sure it it is part of the handmade nature or a result of creation - or a product of wear or use. I will let you decide. Neither center circle is exactly centered perfectly - part of the old hand made nature and charm. None of the above are very noticeable, let alone distracting - just mentioned for accuracy. More charming and age confirming than anything, I would say. See last photo(s). All hardware in good working order. Stones all loaded with natural inclusions, as most from that time period are, no obvious unnaturally occurring damages, cracks, or chips. Amazingly intact given the age. Please study all photos to self-form an opinion of condition and gain additional item insight that only viewing photos can provide. A great find in an excellent state of preservation.
