Antique earrings. Gold and platinum, set with diamonds and emeralds. Made during the Edwardian / Belle Epoque era - early 20th century circa 1905-1920. Measurements and sizes: length is a little under 1 inch (15/16th of an inch). Weigh 5.6grams. 1.34carats of S11 old mine cut diamonds. 1.5 - 2 carats of emeralds. Gold on back of earrings tests for at least 18k; gold of hoops is 14k. Classic elegance - drop earrings with a small flower-form platinum surmount, set with diamonds leading to a small, round platinum colette-set diamond suspending a square drop with diamond background/border and a raised emerald in the center. The stones are set in platinum, but the backs are gold, in a beautiful delicate openwork design of hearts, arching well away from the gemstones - allowing the light to fall both in front and behind the emeralds. In their own way, the backs are as beautiful as the front and show the quality and care taken to make this pair of earrings. No hallmarks but gold behind earrings tests 18k; hoops 14k and tops test for platinum. Good condition with no damage to be found.
