These stunning antique amethyst, pearl and diamond earrings are new to our collection and are simply heavenly. 

The amethysts are of beautiful quality and are discretely claw-set in 18 carat yellow gold settings. Each amethyst is carefully suspended from a pearl-mounted ear stud by a row of five splendid rose cut diamonds to either side (totalling 20 diamonds across the pair). The diamonds have been expertly rub-over set, and finished with a millgrained edge, giving the earrings that exquisite antique look. 

The earrings are unmarked but have tested as 18 carat gold and platinum. We date them to around 1900, and believe from the way that they are made that they are likely English-made. Together the earrings weigh 3.58grams, with each earring measuring approximately 2cm in length, and each amethyst measuring 8.8mm in diameter. The earrings secure at the back with gold butterflies.
