A pair of c1890 stud earrings each set with an old mine cut cushion diamond weighing approximately 0.75 carats. Set in silver topped 14K gold collets in a type of setting more common to 18th century jewelry. At the end of the 19th century, nostalgia for the Georgian era inspired Victorian jewelers to use collet settings and diamond cuts common to the 18th century. The are built with a filigree gallery and an open back, both Victorian touches. On posts for pierced ears.
