There are diamond clusters… and then there are diamond clusters with weight, warmth and presence.
These substantial vintage earrings are crafted in high-carat yellow gold and set with fourteen natural diamonds in classic seven-stone floral clusters. They sit proud, catch light beautifully, and feel reassuringly solid in the hand.
This is not lightweight fashion jewellery.
This is proper mid-century craftsmanship.

Silver and copper balance consistent with traditional high-carat Indian gold alloys.
While often described as 18ct, the reading places them approximately in the 17.5–18ct range — entirely typical for vintage Indian gold of this period.
Gold plating: Not detected.
Warm in tone, rich in colour, and beautifully suited to the sparkle of the stones.
Fourteen natural diamonds (seven per earring).
Hand-set in traditional cluster formation. Forward-facing settings maximise light return, giving that unmistakable vintage fire rather than modern calibrated sparkle.
Based on measured stone diameter, the estimated total diamond weight is approximately 0.60–0.70ct combined (visual estimate only, not formally graded).
Each stone shows the natural character expected of mid-century hand-cut diamonds — lively, bright and full of movement.
• Total weight: 5.82 grams
• Cluster diameter: approx 10mm
• Traditional Indian screw-back fittings
• Secure and smooth to operate
Screw-backs are not only period-correct — they are also wonderfully secure for daily wear, offering added confidence compared to modern push-backs.
The alloy profile and construction are consistent with mid-20th-century Indian craftsmanship, where rich gold tone and substantial cluster settings were favoured.
They are elegant enough for formal wear, yet substantial enough to feel meaningful.
A thoughtful anniversary gift.
A significant birthday piece.
Or a quietly confident addition to a fine jewellery collection.
Vintage condition with excellent sparkle.
• All diamonds present and secure
• Screw-backs working smoothly
• Age-appropriate surface wear consistent with authenticity
