Timeless .5 Carat Tdw Old Mine Cut DIAMOND Prong Stud Earrings French Antique 18k White Gold

ABOUT:

Somehow on my last sourcing trip to France I ended up finding three pairs of old mine cut studs, all measuring half a carat total weight in antique old mine cut diamonds. Each slightly different from the next so pick a fave style and stack em up! : )

These timeless studs are in 18k white gold with Alpa style push backs. Classic and elegant with eye clean stones in sturdy prongs.

The push backs are the Alpa style with the spring loaded push buttons to secure them at the end of the earring post. They have little “buttons” on each side so you squeeze the push back to run it down the post. These can be pushed in all the way to the back of the earring, but I noticed they can slide some with pressure. However – they are in No danger of falling off because with the push buttons, they latch onto a little catch at the end of the ear post, meaning the push backs cannot be removed unless you manually press those little buttons on each side. About as secure as you can get for earrings.

Found in France, the push backs are stamped with the French 18k gold symbol.

Antique boxes / items in displays in photos are not included.

MEASUREMENTS:
The diamonds are each about 3.7mm, chunky cuts each measuring about .25 carat for a total carat weight of half a carat / 0.5ctw. This is an estimate as I do not remove stones from antique settings for exact measurements. The faces of the earrings with the prongs and outline are 5mm.
The pair weighs 1.8 grams.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

The diamonds are eye clean. They just a little frosty speck here or there from build up to the hard to reach backs but we did give them a gentle cleaning. No damage, no eye visible inclusions. Prongs are excellent.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
