Georgian 15ct Gold, Pear Shaped Topaz & Diamond Drop Earrings

595W
87 Admirers Rare Find

A stunning pair of 15ct gold topaz and diamond drop earrings that were made circa 1820. Topaz is very sought after and quite a rare stone. It is quite different to a citrine. The name imperial topaz is said to have originated in 19th century Russia, where the Ural Mountain mines were an important source of topaz reportedly reserved for the royal family. In these earrings the large pinched collet set pear shaped topaz have an approximate weight of 4.19 carats each with a further topaz above that weighs fractionally under one carat each with a total estimated weight of over ten carats. In between are old mine cut diamonds. The warm orange of the stones goes beautifully with the colour of the gold and the diamonds give these earrings that extra twinkle.
