Latest Vintage Piece
Art Deco styled sapphire & diamond earrings 7.6gr. 14kt. 1.75ct. total weight. $2,600.00 CAD. 211-00228
The Art Deco period from the 1920s to 1930s was influential throughout society and changed the way almost everything was styled. Architecture, automotive, to even household products, almost everything received the geometric treatment with opulent materials and bold colour contrasts. Trends come and go but classic style endures. Original Art Deco jewellery is among the most popular with our estate jewellery customers. These sapphire and diamond earrings look like an original from the 1920s but they are actually of modern Canadian manufacture by Crescendo Jewellery Toronto. High quality and proudly made in Canada have always been hallmarks of the brand. Crescendo were one of Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers first suppliers when our business opened over 65 years ago. These earrings weigh a substantial 7.6 grams in upgraded 14 karat yellow and white gold.
The two-tone appearance isn’t artificially achieved with a simple rhodium plating on yellow gold but a separate white gold cast section soldered to a yellow gold frame. The earrings have been hand set with 50 natural round brilliant cut diamonds of very nice SI-I quality. The focal point of each earring is the bezel set oval blue sapphire in the centre. Each sapphire measures approximately 6mm x 4mm and are estimated to weight 1.00 carats in total. They exhibit a strong bright blue colour and have very good clarity. Spring loaded Omega backs over wire posts secure the earrings and keep them in place.
Pressure from the spring backs help disperse the weight of the 20.5mm long earrings. They are in excellent condition showing no areas on wear.
We have a Crescendo Jewellery catalogue that still shows these earrings (model E1698) along with a matching pendant if you wanted to build a set. The earrings are estate priced at $2,600.00 CAD. Stock #211-00228.
