⎯⎯
A COLLECTOR'S MUST because If you're into JAR, these clip-ons feel to us a lot like what baby JAR would've created in 1955. Especially when we focus on the fruital-meets-floral overarching look and its lush shades of red, this is high fine jewellery and creation at its best.

STYLE: Unexpectedly for rubies of this saturation and old cut diamonds, the size here plays a pivotal role in keeping this pair of earrings versatile and apt to be worn day to night, casual to formal.

Our Price Analysis

AN OPPORTUNITY because
• GEMSTONE MERIT: Cabochon rubies totalling 5.40 ct, certified Burma (Myanmar) origin with gemmological report. Burma is the most sought-after source, and these juicy stones show rich colour and volume to heighten their desirability.
• MATERIAL & MAKING: Platinum mounts with old cut diamonds set like dewdrops between the rubies. Antique cuts are increasingly collected for their character, while platinum remains the premium metal for MidCentury jewels.
• DESIGN & PERIOD: From the 1950s, figurative, three-dimensional floral clusters; volume and sparkle to stand the test of time and remain modern today.
• COLLECTOR VALUE: Certified Burmese rubies in platinum, at this carat weight, are always sought-after.
• PRICE VALUE: At £3,900, these earclips are notably well-priced. Comparable Burma ruby and diamond earrings of this period are often £6,000–£10,000 from leading dealers. Excellent value, all the more so from a JWL Trusted Dealer in London.
