A stunning, fine and impressive pair of antique 3.90 carat diamond, 18 carat yellow gold and platinum set solitaire drop earrings; part of our diamond jewellery collection

These stunning, fine and impressive antique diamond earrings have been crafted in 18ct yellow gold with platinum settings.

The earrings are embellished with a suspended claw set 1.90ct and 1.81ct Old European round cut diamond.

Each feature diamond suspends from a collet set Old European cut diamond, to a millegrain decorated tear-shaped drop ornamented with two further pavé set diamonds, completing the design.

These antique earrings, for pierced ears, secure to the reverse with a post and hinged latch style fastening.

These earrings have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold and platinum.

These impressive antique drop earrings are supplied with two IDGL diamond grading report certificates for the feature stones, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.

Such original antique examples with large and impressive hand cut diamonds are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

Defined by a single suspended gemstone, these antique solitaire drop earrings in gold offer a timeless and refined style that allows the beauty of the stone to take centre stage. Making them suitable for both everyday wear and formal occasions. Their understated elegance makes them a thoughtful gift for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, bridal jewellery, graduations, or significant personal achievements.

I have dealt with AC silver on several occasions

I have dealt with AC silver on several occasions and always found Andrew extremely knowledgable and trustworthy. Nothing is too much trouble and I am absolutely delighted with my last purchase of a 5 stone diamond ring. From start to finish the process was extremely easy and everything catered for. It was a pleasure to del with Andrew and his most helpful and charming Assistant.

Lovely selection & excellent service

AC Silver has a stunning selection of antique and vintage items. Both of my brooches arrived right on time as indicated by the tracking. They are even lovelier in person and I look forward to wearing them for decades to come. Andrew and Gemma provided excellent communication and prompt dispatch. I would absolutely recommend working through them.

Excellent customer care.

I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
