Reserve For Client : Sooooo Couture - Vintage Retro 18K Gold Natural Fancy Colored Pink & Cognac Diamond Textured Earrings (VE389)

Sooooo Couture - Vintage Retro 18K Gold Natural Fancy Colored Pink & Cognac Diamond Textured Earrings. These exclusive earrings are crafted from 18K yellow gold, hallmarked 18ct, tested and confirmed. The earring backs are crafted from 14K gold, hallmarked 14K. Featuring three natural round cut natural pink diamonds, one natural round cut cognac diamond, a unique design, and high quality craftsmanship. These wonderful earrings are hand-made, and one-of-a-kind. The front of the earrings are textured, however what I love most about these earrings is that each earring has a different and unique texture. One of the earrings is expertly bezel set with a beautiful natural pale pink diamond and the other earring is set with two natural pale pink diamonds, and one natural cognac diamond. The combination of the pink and cognac diamonds is absolutely stunning against the rich buttery textured gold. I am certain if a high end gallery had these in their window they would be priced at a lot more, simply for their artistic value and uniqueness of the design. Not to mention the high karat gold and beautiful natural colored diamonds. Quite honestly I could see a model wearing these down the runway in the 70s/80s.  These vintage beauties are modernistic and absolutely fabulous!

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship.
