A stunning pair of earrings for the lovers of unusual antique jewellery amongst us!  These strikingly pretty earrings would find their origins we believe around the Austro-Hungarian region of Europe, and are simply beautiful on the ear.

Crafted from 9ct yellow gold (testing slightly higher to hooks) and designed with shepherd hooks with V shaped safety hooks for pierced ears for extra security.

Designed as articulated cluster style earrings, a small five claw set diamond sits just below the shepherd hook, to which the articulated main cluster drops below and dances perfectly with every movement. A central diamond to the centre - set with nine Sterling Silver raised claws, to a surround of a further nine macle cut diamonds

“The diamonds are ‘macle cuts’ - ‘First used in India about 2,500 years ago when diamonds were discovered in Golconda, the term Macle is a gemological term referring to triangular-shaped twinned crystals of diamond rough.  Usually quite flat its natural rough cut creates an unpolished and somewhat cloudy appearance which some say resembles beautiful sea-glass!  Instead of the traditional ‘sparkle’ we see in modern brilliant cut diamonds, macle diamonds tend to glow and shine in a similar way to rose-cuts”.

Dropping a lovely 2.5cm from the ear these elegant earrings glow, and do somewhat sparkle, with a magic not seen in modern jewellery. 
Perfect for those who adore elegant and unusual jewellery, these earrings will not disappoint!
