Description
Sparkling historical Dormeuse diamond earrings, crafted from rose gold 585 / 14 ct (tested and guaranteed).
The highly elegant earrings shine with two beautiful old-cut diamonds totaling ca. 1.1 carats (I-J, VS1-VS2). Simple hook studs with small clasps ensure a comfortable and secure hold, which beautifully complement the understated design.
The term “dormeuse” goes back to the French verb “dormir” (= to sleep): earrings that sit close to the earlobe and are often fitted with hinged hoops could also be worn while sleeping. Towards the end of the 19th century in particular, people abandoned long, pompous earrings in favor of shorter jewels such as the earrings shown here.
These fine antique earrings were created around 1890 and are a rare and sought-after item for antique jewelry enthusiasts thanks to their timeless design, the fantastic sparkle of the diamonds and their wonderful state of preservation.
Dimensions of the earrings (incl. prong): 12.0 x 5.9 mm.
Diameter of the diamonds: ca. 5.2 - 5.3 mm, total ca. 1.1 ct (I-J, VS1-VS2).
Total weight: 1.2 grams.
Condition: Wonderful historical condition, freshly cleaned, see photos.
You will receive the earrings lovingly packaged in one of our pretty cases and with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note: Vintage or antique pieces of jewelry are worn objects that show slight signs of wear due to their history.
