Antique Onyx and Rose Cut Diamond 14K Solid Gold Drop Earrings, Victorian Sleeper Earrings

These extremely unique Victorian earrings feature a solid 14k gold base, with a ring of onyx and a rose cut diamond face. The rose cut diamonds are securely held in a prong setting. I love all of the details of this lovely piece; the way the diamonds are cut to look like roses, the way the prongs extend over the face of the onyx resembling a flower, and the tube hinge on the back of the earrings. Using an early lever back closure, the earrings thread through the back of the ears and attach in a rivet at the top of the earrings. It takes some getting used to at first but they have a strong hinge and hold well.

CONDITION NOTES:
The earrings are in very good condition for age with strong latches and secure closures. There is no wear to the diamond facets under magnification and the diamonds are well secured. There is oxidation and micro-scratches consistent with age and use.
