Estate Tadini 18K Yellow Gold Diamond Cabochon Ruby Bombé Drop Earrings 23.40ctw

A dramatic and unmistakably high-jewelry pair of vintage drop earrings by Tadini, crafted in richly polished 18 karat yellow gold with an opulent sculptural presence and exceptional scale. The diamond-set circular surmounts are centered by intricate bombe-style motifs, giving way to substantial articulated drops accented by two vivid red pear-shaped cabochon rubies weighing approximately 7.00 carats each. Additional square-cut rubies totaling approximately 3.60 carats are channel set at the base, adding sharp geometric contrast to the fluid gold forms. The earrings are further accented by approximately 5.80 carats total weight of exceptionally bright F–G color, VS1–VS2 clarity round brilliant diamonds throughout. Measuring an impressive 2 1/4 inches long by 1 inch wide and weighing a substantial 40.6 grams, they have omega backs and possess the kind of bold, confident craftsmanship and dimensionality associated with important Italian jewelry houses of the period.
