This is a UNIQUE PAIR of VINTAGE CLIP-ON COCKTAIL EARRINGS that are made during the 1950s from 18K WHITE GOLD with 14K WHITE GOLD CLIPS. The closing clip is stamped and numbered: 14K PAT 2583985. The earrings are set with 2 MABE WHITE PEARLS on top that measure 12 mm and 2 SALTWATER WHITE PEARLS hanging freely at the bottom that measure 9.7 & 9.9 mm.
Below the Mabe pearls, the earrings are detailed with 2 MARQUISE CUT DIAMONDS of H color, SI clarity that weigh approx. 1.0 ctw., along with 2 BRILLIANT CUT DIAMONDS that weigh approx. .10 ctw. The center pieces of the earrings have an ARCED SHAPE and are CHANNEL-SET with 12 BAGUETTE DIAMONDS of H color, VS1 to SI1 clarity that weigh approx. 2.0 carats in total. The sides of these arced pieces have holes and I am not sure why. I suppose they could easily be filled and polished smooth if so desired. There are a couple of scratches around these holes as well - see last pic.
The total diamond weight is approx. 3.10 carats! All of the diamonds are WHITE, BRIGHT & CLEAR with GREAT SPARKLE. The white gold on the back of the mabe pearl area has faded to yellow from wear against the skin. This can not be seen when the earrings are being worn. The earrings measure 1-13/16” long and the total weight is 15.1 grams. GORGEOUS!

*A NOTE ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHY – Taking pictures of diamonds to be displayed on a computer screen can be difficult, often resulting in the diamonds looking dark (especially rose cut diamonds) when in reality they are not. If you are looking at any of our pictures and feel that the diamonds look dark, please refer to the description of the item that states the accurate color and clarity of the stones.
Also, jewelry and/or diamond grading is done under 10X magnification. When you super-size our photos you will see the item in 100X magnification. Please be aware that you may see things that cannot be seen with your eyes or a jeweler’s loupe. Sometimes these images can make the item look distorted or appear to have problems when in reality it is fine. I list only high quality pieces and avoid those with problems or in need of repair unless it is described as such in the listing.
REFUND POLICY: The buyer has the right to a refund should the item not be suitable. The item must be promptly returned in its original condition without damage, alteration, repair or signs of wear when examined under a 10x jewelers loupe. Buyer is responsible for return shipping fees unless we have mistakenly misrepresented the item.
I realize there is risk on the buyer’s side when bidding on an expensive jewelry item. If you would feel more comfortable speaking to me in person before bidding on an item, I welcome all calls.
