Antique 2ct Diamond Stud Earrings

Description

These antique diamond stud earrings date to the Edwardian era and feature two well-matched old cut diamonds. Together, they total just over 2 carats and show the soft, lively sparkle associated with hand-cut stones. The diamonds sit in 18ct white gold, which gives a clean, bright look on the ear. As a result, they feel elegant without appearing oversized.

One diamond weighs approximately 1.05ct with SI1 clarity and G colour. The second weighs approximately 1.07ct with VS2 clarity and H colour. Although the stones differ slightly on paper, they present as a balanced pair when worn.

Design & Craftsmanship

The earrings feature traditional Edwardian claw settings that allow light to enter freely around each stone. Old cut diamonds were faceted by hand, so each diamond has its own character and depth. Because of this, the sparkle appears softer and more romantic than modern cuts. The 18ct white gold reflects Edwardian design preferences and enhances the brightness of the diamonds without overpowering them.

Why We Love These Earrings

These showstopper earrings combine visual impact with everyday wearability. They feel substantial, yet they remain comfortable and easy to wear. At the same time, the quality of the diamonds and their antique origin give them lasting value. For this reason, they suit someone who wants fine jewellery that works beyond special occasions.

Styling Ideas

These antique diamond stud earrings work well for daily wear, especially for someone who prefers classic jewellery with history. They also suit anniversaries, weddings, or meaningful gifts. In addition, they pair easily with both antique and modern jewellery collections.
