Understated splendour
Is it not remarkable to see a hard gemstone interpret the delicate velvety texture of a flower?
Deeply glamorous, orchids are hauntingly beautiful flowers that conjure up an image of tropical paradise. Since the time of Confucius, the orchid in China has been a plant of great refinement and virtue revered for growing modestly in inaccessible places.
Here a gorgeous pair of diamond set orchid earrings beautifully crafted in platinum during Art Deco era.
Always linked to sensuality and desire the two flower earrings will bring sophistication, and sparkle to the eyes.
Each flower is set with sparkling fourty seven old transitional cut diamonds for a total of 2.50 Ct for each earring, an extraordinary combination of the complelling beauty of nature, the fertile imagination of the designer and technical virtuosity.
The diamond petals for both earrings have a total estimated weight of approx 5.00 Ct full of light beautifully set playing with the fragily, sensuality and delicacy of the forms of the orchid flower.
Artfully crafted in platinum by a master goldsmith during Art Deco years, omega clips are in 18 Kt whate gold added later in time possibly for a more comfortable and secure wear.
Very good overall condition commensurate to use and age.
