Overview:
Elegant vintage citrine & diamond pendant drop earrings crafted in 18k yellow gold (circa 1990s).
112 round brilliant cut diamonds total an estimated 0.56 carats (estimated at I-J color and VS2-I1 clarity). Checkerboard faceted citrine measures 27mm x 10mm.
The elongated pendant drop earrings highlight golden citrines to the center, faceted to catch light and shimmer with your every movement. The long 2 1/2 inch drops make a fabulous statement on the earlobe, great worn during the day or at night for a glam look. The earrings are designed with posts and push backings for pierced ears.
The earrings are in good condition and were lightly cleaned and polished.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
