The warm glow of two magnificent cushion-cut diamonds with a total weight of 4.95 carats inevitably draws the eye and transports us back to the years around 1900, to the era of imperial Berlin. The modern brilliant cut, round and with at least 56 facets, did not yet exist at that time. Diamonds were cut in such a way that as much of the weight of the rough crystal as possible was retained and good light refraction was achieved at the same time. The shape of an uncut diamond is reminiscent of a piece of rock candy: often cubic, with rough edges. This explains why early brilliant cuts are often executed in the form of cushion cuts, which still reveal the square shape of the rough stone in their cut form. Antique diamonds therefore always have something unique about them. You can sense the dialog between the rough crystal and the cutter's hand, which has adapted to the natural specifications of the mineral. Every stone is individual, no two are alike. This is precisely why we at Hofer Antikschmuck value the old cuts so much: they are more exciting and full of character than modern full cuts and tell their own story. The diamonds in these earrings are set in fine platinum prongs, while a smaller stone in a bezel setting elegantly complements the gold earwires. Our goldsmith has added new hoops and leverbacks to ensure a secure and comfortable fit on the ear. We discovered the precious jewels in Hamburg and brought them to Berlin. They are delivered with a detailed appraisal from Vienna.
