These elegant vintage earrings feature an open teardrop frame in 14k yellow gold (hallmarked 583) suspending a beautifully detailed inner element set with two natural diamonds per earring — four diamonds total. The inner teardrop showcases a darkened/oxidized background that makes the prong-set diamonds sparkle brilliantly, framed by fine milgrain edging and delicate pierced scrollwork below the stones. Open-back settings allow maximum light through the stones.
The 583 hallmark is consistent with Eastern Bloc gold standards used throughout mid-century Europe, including Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and the USSR. A hallmark well recognized by vintage jewelry collectors.
