Antique Victorian 9ct Rose Gold Persian Turquoise And Diamond ‘Bombe’ Earrings
A superb pair of highly coveted Victorian earrings dating to the late Victorian era circa 1880-1900.
Designed for pierced ears with post fittings and butterfly backs, these splendid earrings would almost certainly have begun their life as perhaps buttons but have been expertly converted early in their history, with secure cup settings and post fittings and later substantial matching butterfly backs.
Crafted in large 1.3cm round domed or ‘bombe’ style and set with four tiers of natural Persian Turquoise cabochons of graduating sizes to the stunning central old Mine-cut diamond to the centre which creates a sparkling contrast to the duck-egg blue Turquoise.
Substantial in weight these impressive earrings weigh a combined 6.2 grams, and sit beautifully on the ear.
A must for the December birthdays, or anyone who appreciates fine antique jewellery.
