The earrings are likely French in origin with solid backs behind the stones.
The diamond settings are 18 karat gold while the earrings hooks are 14 karat.
Era: Late Georgian/Early Victorian (circa 1830-1850)
Materials: High Karat Gold, Rose-cut Diamonds
Size: 16mm from the top of the hook to bottom of the earring.
The higher clarity diamond measures 5mm across while the more included diamond measures 4.5mm across.
The overall weight is of the earrings is 2.2 grams.
Condition Report:
The diamonds have some very subtle chips and cracks along the settings. Barely visible and to be expected being 200 years old. Overall, in good antique condition.
