The appeal of the closed-set design
The closed-set design has its origins in ancient jewellery-making techniques, before establishing its clean, geometric lines during the Art Deco period. These second-hand stud earrings feature two natural brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.09 carats. The precious metal used is 18-carat white gold with a mirror polish. The setting highlights the central stone through a design intended for everyday wear, eliminating any superfluous elements. This design allows the material and the gem to speak for themselves.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The technical design of this piece is based on a meticulous closed setting. A continuous band of white gold encircles each diamond to ensure constant protection against impact. The stone’s culet remains exposed at the rear of the bezel to allow light to pass freely through the pavilion. The overall structure is characterised by a clean line entirely free of prongs. The fastening system features a classic Belgian push-back clasp to ensure a snug fit against the earlobe.
Why choose these second-hand stud earrings
Purchasing this pre-owned piece of jewellery is a wise choice for a buyer seeking timeless designs. Opting for a classic, unsigned piece of jewellery allows one to focus on the intrinsic value of the diamonds and white gold. This approach avoids the design costs inherent in contemporary pieces whilst offering a timeless aesthetic. The perceived volume when worn remains generous thanks to the light-coloured metal band that surrounds the stone and visually extends its diameter.
Contents and condition
The composition of the setting is confirmed by the 750 hallmarks clearly engraved on the main prongs and on the flat surface of the butterfly clasps.
