Here’s a lovely pair of Victorian diamond earrings from about 1880 set with old mine cut diamonds in 15-carat yellow gold with a silver top setting.

The main elements are shaped like a stylised flower, with a cluster of diamonds set like petals around the central stone. Each cluster hangs from a bar set with a diamond terminating in a petal shape, with a single diamond sitting above on the ear.

The space between the central diamond and surrounding petals brings a feeling of lightness to the overall design.
