An exceptional pair of original Edwardian diamond drop earrings, dating to the early 1900s and beautifully preserved in their original fitted Pidduck’s jewellers box.
Each earring is set with approximately 1.00ct of natural old cut diamonds, giving an estimated combined diamond weight of approximately 2.00ct across the pair. The original matching stones display the distinctive character associated with antique old cuts, with broad facets and a softer, romantic brilliance particularly suited to jewellery of this period.
The diamonds are set within finely detailed platinum millegrain settings, backed in gold which tests as approximately 14–15ct. The earrings are unmarked, as is often encountered with antique jewellery of this age.
A particularly attractive feature is the original fastening design, combining traditional fish-hook fittings with an integrated safety catch for added security while worn.
Measuring approximately 50mm in total drop length and 11mm at their widest point, the earrings have an elegant elongated silhouette with beautiful movement on the ear. At 4.6 grams for the pair, they remain refined and comfortable despite their impressive diamond presence.
Most importantly, these earrings remain in remarkable original condition, with no repairs or restoration noted. Their surviving original fittings, antique diamonds and fitted Pidduck’s box make them a particularly special example of genuine Edwardian fine jewellery.
