Description
DeepL TranslateThis antique Plique-à-Jour and 3.68ct diamond earring and ring set, crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold, is a rare and remarkable treasure that embodies the artistry and elegance of the late 19th century. A true collector’s piece, it offers not just one exceptional jewel but two perfectly matched creations—a dazzling pair of earrings and a coordinating ring—making it the ultimate gift for anyone who appreciates the luxury of a complete, harmonious set. Rather than searching for complementary pieces, the recipient enjoys an instantly cohesive look that can be styled together for a striking statement or worn separately for subtle sophistication.
The ring is a masterwork of Victorian design. At its centre sits a spectacular 0.75ct Old European round-cut diamond, securely claw set and radiating antique brilliance. Two additional Old European cut diamonds are arranged vertically within a symmetrical, curvilinear frame, which sweeps outward into borders of forty pavé-set Dutch and eight-cut diamonds that shimmer from every angle. The pierced sides of the ring reveal delicate Plique-à-Jour enamel panels, fanned into organic patterns that allow light to filter through like miniature stained-glass windows. The broad, sculpted setting flows seamlessly into a plain, hallmarked segmented shank, ensuring both strength and comfort while highlighting the artistry of the era.
The matching earrings are equally captivating. Each features a central Plique-à-Jour enamel design framed by a graceful crescent of claw-set diamonds in a mix of Old European and eight cuts, creating a soft yet striking sparkle. A feature Old European round-cut diamond dangles elegantly from each articulating terminal, allowing light to dance with every movement. Secure hinged fastenings complete these earrings, offering both beauty and practical wearability. Together, the ring and earrings boast a combined 3.68 carats of dazzling diamonds, perfectly balancing the vibrant enamel and warm gold.
Beyond their obvious beauty, these pieces carry profound meaning. Plique-à-Jour enamel, one of the most technically challenging and admired decorative techniques, creates a luminous, translucent effect that captures and reflects light, symbolising clarity, renewal, and enduring elegance. The rich 18ct yellow gold provides a glowing backdrop for the colourful enamel and brilliant diamonds, while the late Victorian craftsmanship ensures each piece is truly one of a kind.
As a gift, this set is as practical as it is extraordinary. The earrings and ring can be worn together for a coordinated, heirloom-worthy statement or styled separately to suit different moods and occasions. Its versatility, historical charm, and unmatched craftsmanship make it far more than jewellery—it is a two-in-one treasure that embodies romance, artistry, and the enduring beauty of antique design. Whether chosen for a milestone celebration, a meaningful anniversary, or simply to indulge someone special, this set is a luxurious heirloom to be cherished for generations.
