Edwardian 15ct Gold Pear Shaped Chrysoberyl & Diamond Earrings

985X
80 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty pair of 15ct gold earrings that were made circa 1900-1910. Each earring has been claw set with  a pear shaped chrysoberyl with a rub over set old mine cut diamond above.   Chrysoberyls are beautiful stones and have a transparent look that makes a handsome faceted gem. With indistinct cleavage and hardness of 8.5, it’s one of the toughest stones for jewellery purposes. In general, the bright yellow and yellow-green shades are the most desirable colours as in these earrings. In the antiques trade they are also commonly known as Chrysolite.

These earrings are a wonderful gentle-yellow green colour and look gorgeous when worn.
