Story & heritage
The official listing dates these old mine diamond pendant earrings to the Georgian period, circa the 1830s. That places them in the pre-modern diamond-cutting world that Fred Leighton has long championed.
Vogue’s profile of Fred Leighton’s estate-jewelry influence specifically notes his interest in workmanship and the cut of old stones. Old mine diamonds are central to that appeal: their character comes from hand-cut proportion and candlelight fire, not machine uniformity.
Materials & craft
The product details list the period as Georgian and the metal as silver over gold, with an earring-wire closure. The old mine diamonds give the earrings their softened, historic light return.
How to choose & style
They belong with evening clothes, but not only gowns. Try them with a black turtleneck, a silk slip dress or a minimalist suit so the antique diamond shape feels intentional and modern.
