From our Estate Collection, a pair of neoclassical-style vintage cascade earrings blending floral artistry with gemstone opulence.
Hand-fabricated in 18K yellow gold, each earring features a finely hand-engraved floral leaf motif at the head, from which multi-strand aquamarine bead tassels cascade in a fluid, shimmering display. The floral caps are accented with round brilliant cut diamonds for a touch of sparkle.
The earrings measure 42.20mm in total length, with floral heads approximately 15.80 x 19.00 x 4.60mm. The four graduated bead strands on each earring showcase a total of one hundred twenty-six natural aquamarines (double rose cabochon, modified mixed cut), weighing approximately 23.94 carats. The aquamarines are a very light greenish-blue hue, slightly included, and treated for enhanced color.
The eight round brilliant cut diamonds, totaling 0.05 carats, are set into the floral caps, graded F–G color, SI1–I1 clarity, and Very Good cut.
Secured with posts and clip backs, these earrings are both comfortable and visually striking—a statement of craftsmanship from the late 20th century (circa 1980s–1990s).
