Part of $2.8 Million McLean Mansion Luxury Downsizing Auction (timed auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

Emerald 5cts & diamond earrings; 5.7 grams A striking pair of stud earrings centering matched round-cut natural emeralds totaling approximately 5.00 carats. The stones display the deep, saturated forest-green hue prized in fine emerald material, beautifully matched in size, color, and faceting across the pair to create a balanced visual presence on the ear. Each emerald is bezel-set within a sparkling halo of pavé-set round diamonds, with the white diamond frame intensifying the apparent size of the green centers and providing brilliant contrast against the rich emerald color. The architectural settings feature open scrollwork along the sides — a hallmark of antique-inspired construction that allows light to enter the gemstones from below while showcasing the craftsmanship of the gallery from every angle. The earrings are crafted in an oxidized silver-toned setting with warm yellow gold posts and butterfly backs, in the popular Victorian-revival or Mughal-inspired style that has become a favorite among collectors of distinctive colored-stone jewelry. The two-tone construction lends the pieces an antique character while keeping the stones securely mounted for confident daily or occasion wear. Total piece weight is 5.7 grams across the pair. Center stones: Two round natural emeralds, approx. 5.00 cts total. Accent stones: Pavé-set round diamonds. Mounting: Two-tone — oxidized silver-tone halo with yellow gold post and butterfly-back closure. Total weight: 5.7 grams.
