Diamond “Flame” 18KT Earrings

Description

18KT Diamond Flame Earrings

Make a dramatic statement with these striking 18KT yellow gold diamond “Flame” earrings, a dynamic vintage pair dating to approximately the 1970s–1980s. Featuring sculptural flame-inspired forms crafted in 18 karat yellow gold and illuminated by nearly two carats of natural diamonds, these earrings combine bold design with the sparkle of fine jewelry.

Each earring measures approximately 1 3/8″ in height by 1″ wide, creating a substantial silhouette with plenty of presence on the ear. The flowing flame-inspired shape gives the earrings a sense of movement, while the combination of warm yellow gold and bright white diamonds creates a dramatic contrast.

The earrings are set with 56 natural round brilliant-cut diamonds, with individual stones measuring approximately 2.80 mm. to 1.70 mm. Together, the diamonds weigh approximately 1.96 carats total. The diamonds are described as colorless with SI–I clarity, providing plenty of sparkle throughout the sculptural design.

The diamonds are pavé set in white, creating a bright diamond-covered surface that contrasts beautifully against the surrounding 18 karat yellow gold. This arrangement allows the diamonds to catch and reflect light as the earrings move, emphasizing the flowing flame motif.

The flame design is particularly distinctive. Rather than using a conventional round, oval, or geometric silhouette, the earrings feature sweeping curves that create a sense of motion. The result is an expressive statement piece with a strong vintage aesthetic that remains highly wearable for someone who appreciates bold jewelry.

The earrings are finished with 14 karat yellow gold omega clip backs, providing a secure closure for the substantial design. The back of each earring is stamped “18K,” while the clip stem is stamped “14K,” documenting the gold content of the different components.

Together, the earrings weigh approximately 21.40 grams, giving them a substantial feel and reflecting the generous amount of gold incorporated into their construction.
