    This is an exceedingly rare example of Victorian 'carriage cover' earrings. They were designed to disguise one's diamond earrings while traveling in an open horse-drawn carriage.

    Condition Report*: Diamond Average Color: G-H-I
    Diamond Average Clarity: SI
    Diamond Shapes: European-cut
    Diamond Count: 1 - 25
    Notes: A fabulous set. The black enamel carriage-covers were used to conceal the dazzling diamonds from thieves. Small chips on the girdle of each larger diamond. Earrings were converted from original mounting, safety wires need repair to be functional.
