Condition:?The?earrings remain in excellent antique condition. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the silver and gold setting or to the gold wires. All of the Rose Cut diamonds are intact and securely set. Due to the hand-cut nature of old Rose Cut diamonds, the shape of the stones do not have perfect symmetry. This reflects the age and genuine appearance of the diamonds. There is a natural patina on the surface of the silver, which is a normal characteristic of antique jewelry.
