Vintage 18K White Gold Diamond Drop Earrings (Approx. 20.80ctw), 60s/70s

I'm sure this pair of earrings will be one of the most extraordinary and incredible jewels I will be lucky enough to see; and not only for the quantity of diamonds that decorate them, for their quality and for the beauty of the setting, but also because they hide a little secret…

Every centimeter of their surface is covered with diamonds of three different cuts (navette, pear and brilliant), and which reach the incredible carat weight of approx. 20.80ct. 
But we must also talk about the quality of these stones, which is truly excellent and which leads them to be very white and practically perfect stones.
The estimated color is in fact GH, while the estimated purity is IF-VVS.

These are modern earrings, formed by a smaller upper section connected to a lower one, this one very long and which makes up the pendant part.
And let's get to the little secret that makes these earrings even more special: the upper part can in fact be detached from the lower one, in such a way as to be able to wear them in two different ways: the first with the earrings complete with the pendant part, and the second with the only smaller earrings, which will then decorate the lobe (if you're curious to see the mechanism I suggest you watch the stories).

In short, these jewels are a goldsmith's masterpiece, worthy of a red carpet, and which simply leave you speechless.

NB: The earrings are accompanied by a gemological certificate visible in the last photo.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The stone weights indicated in carats represent approximate weights, taken with the stones set, which can therefore vary slightly.
Given the age and the fact that they are handcrafted (and not mass-produced) jewels, our antique and vintage jewels are often not perfect and may show normal signs of surface wear and / or small imperfections, possibly present both on the parts in gold than on stones.
But this is exactly what makes each piece special and unique!
NB: All our jewels are unique pieces, no one is alike! If you like it don't miss it
