Unusual Diamond Studs

This pair of unique diamond studs are made in platinum scroll setting for pierced earrings with medium weight secure ear nuts.

The diamonds are antique Old European Cut, which were cut at the latter half of the 19th century.  The cut is different than modern cutting due to the technology available then.  Today we would saw a diamond crystal in two and get one larger and one smaller.  Back in the day, the diamond was only ground down.  This resulted in diamonds with high crowns and deep pavilions. 

These diamonds have a total weight of .73 carat, they are graded I color and SI in clarity.  The cut is good for the type.  

These diamonds are highly sought after and much rarer than modern diamonds. These are one of a kind and are not replaceable.
