9 Carat Gold Carnelian, Onyx and Diamond Stud Earrings
A striking pair of vintage stud earrings crafted in 9 carat gold, featuring rich deep red carnelian and sleek onyx stones. The diamonds, set within closed-back settings, are well matched, totalling under 0.10 carats, and adding a subtle yet elegant sparkle. The earrings bear Sheffield hallmarks, though these are partially indistinct, authenticating their British origin.
Gold Fineness: Notably, the studs themselves are 9ct gold, while the butterfly backs are crafted in 18ct gold, marked by the 750 fineness stamp — both reflecting quality craftsmanship. Fixed post fittings will suit pierced ears.
Condition: These earrings show fine surface scratching under magnification, that speak to a life well enjoyed. These gentle signs of wear are embraced as part of the piece’s story and a nod to sustainable luxury within the circular economy.
Dimensions: Diameter of 1cm
The intense red carnelian makes these earrings truly captivating, designed to catch the eye and complement both day and evening wear with timeless elegance. The versatility of these studs is an example of Vintage Virtue’s commitment to pre-adored jewellery that marries beauty with responsibility.
