Antique Old Mine Cut Diamond Dormeuse Earrings with Blue Enamel

$8,500.00

These irresistible antique earrings showcase two charming hand-cut diamonds. One is a classic old mine-cut and the other is a transitional beauty sitting stylistically somewhere between a Peruzzi and an old mine-cut. (.95 ct and 1.15 ct) Together, they offer a uniquely harmonious pairing full of antique charm and fire. The diamonds are nestled in buttercup settings masterfully lined in vibrant cobalt blue enamel. This rare detail casts brilliant light into the diamonds, giving them lots of life. Designed to sit snugly beneath your earlobe, these earrings are as comfortable as they are captivating. They also retain the original back to front closures, a delightful detail dating them somewhere between the mid to late 19th century.
