Throughout history, diamonds have been cut into ever-changing shapes, always in pursuit of optimal brilliance. Technical and economic developments set the pace just as much as the fashions of the respective eras. The modern round brilliant cut, for example, did not become the standard until the mid-20th century. C. 1900, the diamond still prevailed, which allowed the diamond a bit more individuality and was more guided by the original shape of the stone as found. The table of these so-called “Old European Cut” diamonds is slightly smaller than that of modern stones, and the crown is higher. As a result, these stones reflect slightly less light toward the viewer, but they produce significantly more fire than the round brilliant cut. These fiery flashes of color arise precisely from the side facets: Since these are larger than on modern stones, diamonds tend to sparkle with a more colorful brilliance. This can be observed exceptionally well in this pair of earrings. The starting point for the design was a pair of antique diamonds totaling approximately 3.80 ct. The two diamonds were cut c. 1900 and have a slightly warm tinted colour. Inside, they contain fine graphite inclusions that reveal their origin deep within the Earth millions of years ago. The large antique diamonds are set in platinum and are each accompanied by a smaller old-cut diamond, which together weigh about 1.30 ct. In total, therefore, approximately 5.10 ct of fine old-cut diamonds are set. Originally, the stones in their settings were part of a brooch, which was redesigned into this pair of earrings with 18 carat gold lever backs in our workshop. The design is inspired by earrings of the turn of the century. An independent appraisal from Vienna accompanies the earrings.
