A fabulous pair of Persephone dangling drop earrings, created in the United States in the late 1970s, crafted as a true left-and-right pair in solid 18K yellow gold with a high-polish finish and striking black enamel accents. These dramatic Modernist drops are pavé-set with 258 graduated round brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 8.19 carats (F color, VS clarity), delivering exceptional brilliance and presence. Fitted with collapsible posts for pierced or non-pierced wear and comfortable French omega backs for secure clip fastening, the earrings weigh 33.40 grams and measure 51 x 32mm. Stamped with the maker’s monogram and marked twice “18kt .750,” they are accompanied by a presentation jewelry box and a GIA-certified gemologist appraisal detailing the diamonds and current market replacement value; excellent condition with all diamonds secure. Very good conditions. All our diamonds and colored gemstones are naturally earth-mined. Any synthetic (lab-grown) stones will be clearly indicated in the description.
