An exquisite pair of antique floral drop earrings crafted around the turn of the 20th century in 14kt yellow gold (580/1000) with silver-topped settings.
Designed with an articulate, botanical silhouette, each earring features a flower bud cluster leading down to stylized diamond-set leaves and a pear-shaped main drop. The rose-cut diamonds (totaling approx. 0.90 ctw) are mounted in closed, foil-backed settings—a classic historical technique that enhances their soft, candlelight shimmer—supported by finely detailed openwork galleries beneath.
