Throughout history, diamonds have been cut in ever new variations, always in search of perfect brilliance. Technical developments set the pace, as did the changing fashions of the time. The modern full-cut diamond, which today is usually calculated using computer programs, only became the standard in the middle of the 20th century. Around 1890, on the other hand, the so-called old cut was still preferred, which gave the stone more individuality and was more closely oriented to the natural shape of the rough crystal. This pair of stud earrings shows two antique diamonds in the so-called "old mine cut", the cushion-shaped old cut of the early 19th century. Each ear stud holds a diamond of around 0.80 carats in an elegant prong setting in rose gold. The old stones shine in a warm tinted white, and their individual cuts give them a distinctive character that clearly distinguishes them from modern brilliant-cut diamonds. Their brilliance is soft and shimmering, as if from a salon in the Paris of the Goncourt brothers. The settings are made of warm red gold, we think at the end of the 19th century, using diamonds that were already antique at the time. The pins of the settings have been carefully renewed, making the antique pair suitable for everyday wear in a restrained manner. The charming ear studs come from Hamburg and are accompanied by a detailed appraisal from Vienna.
