ANTIQUE 9K ROSE GOLD DORMEUSE ROSE CUT DIAMOND EARRINGS LEVERBACK LOCKS c1900

THESE EARRINGS BELONGED TO MY MOTHER IN LAW’S MOM. LATER ON SHE GIFTED THEM TO MY MOTHER IN LAW AND IN 1953 MY MOTHER IN LAW WORE THEM FOR HER WEDDING IN EUROPE. AT SOME POINT IN TIME, TROUGH RAISING KIDS, MOVING HOUSES AND EVENTUALLY COUNTRIES, ONE OF THE PAIR CUT ROSE CUT DIAMONDS WAS LOST OUT OF THE ONE EARRING. SHE DID REPLACE IT LATER ON IN LIFE, SHE TOLD ME HER JEWELER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE EXACT PEAR SHAPE ROSE CUT DIAMOND TO FIT IN IN PLACE OF THE LOST ONE, SO A ROUND ROSE CUT DIAMOND WAS PUT IN PLACE. ITS NOT NOTICEABLE, OF COURSE, WHEN WORN ON IN TWO SEPARATE EARS, BUT I TRIED TO TAKE A CLOSE UP PICTURES TO SHOW. ALL PICTURES ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION. I DO NOT HAVE CARAT WEIGHT, BUT THE ORIGINAL PEAR SHAPE ROSE CUT DIAMOND IS APPROXIMATELY 6.9MM LONG BY 4.5MM WIDE AT THE WIDEST POINT. THE ROUND REPLACEMENT STONE IS APPROXIMATELY 5.5MM IN DIAMETER. ALL MEASURED IN THE SETTING, HENCE APPROXIMATE! ALL DIAMONDS HAVE BEEN TESTED. NOT STAMPED, GOLD TESTS AS 9K. I HAVE THESE EARRINGS IN MY POSSESSION FOR OVER 30 YEARS ( AS THEY WERE ALSO GIFTED TO ME FOR MY WEDDING), SO THEY ARE IN OUR FAMILY FOR NEARLY 100 YEARS. UNLIKE SO MANY AVID COLLECTORS & LOVERS OF ANTIQUE ROSE CUT DIAMONDS ( AND ANTIQUE JEWELRY IN GENERAL), I AM NOT ONE OF THEM, UNFORTUNATELY.SO, I DECIDED THERE IS NO POINT OF THEM SITTING IN MY SAFE NEVER SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY & LET SOMEONE ELSE TRULY ENJOY THEM! DUE TO COMMISSION ON THE SALE, PRICE IS FIRM AND NOT NEGOTIABLE, NO OFFERS CONSIDERED,SORRY!
