Decadent Drops : Mughal Inspired Earrings with Rose Cut Diamonds and Cabochon Rubies in 22ct Gold

♥Sold♥

Inspired by the gems of ancient India, these deliciously decadent earrings are made in 22ct gold and set with large polki rose cut diamonds and natural ruby cabochons, decorated with deep blue enamel. They exude the luxury of a period of decadence and affluence with a distinctly South Asian aesthetic.

In all honesty I cannot determine the age of these earrings – compared to authenticated antique Mughal jewels they appear quite small, so I think these are more likely to be vintage Mughal inspired jewels rather than genuine antique earrings. They have been made with the same materials and traditional techniques that would be found in the real deal.

Upon first appearance the ear wires do look on the small side compared to traditional hooks, but surprisingly they are perfectly proportioned for the earrings to hang straight and feel very secure when worn. They have a very satisfying movement when you move you head, allowing the diamonds to catch the light and sparkle.

Manufacture: 
Handmade in 22ct yellow gold with an 18ct ear wire. The jewels have been verified by an independent gemologist as natural ruby cabochons and rose cut or polki diamonds. The ruby gemstones are set into a diamond shaped section at the top of each earring. The polki diamonds are set into drop shaped sections, with deep blue enamel decoration.

The rubies have an approximate diameter of 3mm each.
The irregular polki diamonds are roughly 6mm x 45.mm each.

The earrings have a drop of 31mm.
Without the ear wires they measure approximately 22mm x 9mm x 7mm
Weigh 5.7 grams (pair)

Condition:
