About the Item

Dutch Georgian-Era Silver-Topped 14K Gold Diamond Earrings – Rose Cut Pears An exceptional pair of authentic Georgian-era diamond earrings, crafted in the traditional silver-topped 14K gold construction that defines late 18th to early 19th century diamond jewelry. These earrings embody the restrained elegance and hand-crafted refinement for which the Georgian period is so highly prized. Specifications Period: Georgian era, circa late 1700s–early 1800s Metal: Silver-topped 14K yellow gold Total Weight: 8.7 grams Dimensions: Approximately 1.50" long x 5/8" wide Diamonds: Natural rose-cut diamonds Center Stones: Pear-shaped rose cuts, approx. 6.7mm x 4.85mm, approx. 0.70ct each Total Diamond Weight: Approximately 1.65 carats total Construction: Closed-back settings with silver tops Findings: Turn of the century replacement 14k gold lever back clips ons with base metal solder used (typical of the period) Imported from Amsterdam. Likely Dutch origin. Craftsmanship Historical Context Silver-topped gold construction was the preferred method for setting diamonds during the Georgian era, allowing the silver to enhance diamond brightness under candlelight while the gold provided structural strength. The rose-cut diamonds—faceted with a flat base and gently domed crown—reflect light in a soft, romantic glow characteristic of the period. The pear-shaped center diamonds are beautifully proportioned and hand-set, framed within delicately worked silver settings that display the subtle irregularities and artistry expected of true Georgian workmanship. Condition The earrings remain in very good antique condition. Overall wear is consistent with age and appropriate for a piece of this era. Backing were changed to clip-on likely around the turn of the century. Base metal solder appears to have been used for the newer backings. A rare and refined example of Georgian diamond jewelry—ideal for collectors seeking genuine early diamonds, period craftsmanship, and timeless elegance rarely found in surviving pairs today.
