These Edwardian drop earrings are constructed in platinum over 18 karat yellow gold and feature a kite-shaped design measuring 1.25 inches in length. The earrings contain a mix of old European and rose cut diamonds totaling .80 carats, graded SI1-SI2 clarity and I-J color. The I-J color grade shows a light yellow tint that's noticeable when examined closely but still provides plenty of sparkle, while SI1-SI2 clarity means small inclusions are visible under magnification but generally not distracting to the naked eye.

Old European cuts create soft, romantic sparkle with their hand-cut facets, and rose cuts have flat backs with triangular facets on top that produce subtle flashes rather than brilliant fire. The two-tone metal construction—platinum on the front, yellow gold on the back—was common during the Edwardian period (1901-1915) and keeps the earrings lighter in weight. Milgrain beading along the edges adds textured detail typical of this era. Lever backs provide secure closure for everyday wear.
