18k yellow gold and platinum diamond drop earrings, circa 1910s to 1920s, designed with pierced platinum fronts over yellow gold construction. The earrings feature an elongated fan shaped drop with milgrain detailing, openwork accents, and old cut diamond settings throughout. Each drop is centered by a bezel set old European cut diamond, with smaller rose cut and old cut diamond accents arranged through the tapered and scalloped design. The two tone construction, pierced platinum work, and fine milgrain edges are consistent with early 20th century jewelry design. The earrings retain their original 18k yellow gold leverback fittings, with small maker’s or workshop marks visible to the backs. They measure 1 1/2 inches in length by 1/2 inch in width and weigh 6.8 grams. Light surface wear is present, consistent with age and prior wear.
