CACCIARI SALVATI BLACK AND WHITE DIAMOND & GOLD EARRINGS, 2000s

Our Price Analysis

AN EXCELLENT PRICE because these Cacciari Salvati black-and-white diamond earclips combine diamonds and gold weight in expert Italian craftsmanship at a price that compares very favourably against the limited market for substantial, signed Italian diamond ear clips.

• MATERIAL VALUE: Crafted in 18k white gold with blackened detailing, the earrings weigh an impressive 21.40g as a pair and are set with an estimated 160–190 black diamonds (approx. 4–5ct) and 220–260 brilliant-cut white diamonds (approx. 3–4ct). Nearly 400–450 individually set diamonds create exceptional intrinsic value, with the sculptural construction being very costly to reproduce today. Diamond counts and weights are estimates; we recommend confirming these details with us before making a purchase.

• DESIGN & CRAFTSMANSHIP: The opposing black-and-white pavé surfaces create a striking Op Art effect that is both graphic and architectural. Their high-domed, folded form requires sophisticated goldsmithing, precision stone calibration and meticulous pavé setting. Hinged omega clip fittings complete a jewel designed for both comfort and visual impact.

• BRAND & DESIGN VALUE: Produced by Cacciari Salvati via their Northern Italian fine jewellery workshops, these earrings exemplify the refined craftsmanship associated with Continental ateliers. Their sculptural monochrome aesthetic feels remarkably contemporary, giving the piece lasting relevance beyond its early-2000s origin.

• SECONDARY MARKET VALUE: Cacciari Salvati jewels appear only rarely on the international secondary market, reflecting the workshop's limited distribution and niche collector following. Comparable signed Italian diamond ear clips are currently offered at approximately US$11,000 (£8,350), while other substantial signed Italian ear clips are listed between approximately £8,000 and £12,500. At the highest end of the designer market, comparable statement ear clips command significantly higher asking prices. Although these are not direct like-for-like comparisons, they demonstrate that the asking price is positioned competitively within the market.

• COLLECTOR & SET VALUE: Drawn from the maker's archive and appearing on the open market for the first time in decades, these earrings offer unusual appeal. The availability of the matching black-and-white diamond ring through JWL Market provides the opportunity to assemble a half-suite.

• PRICE VALUE: These earrings represent excellent value for signed Italian diamond earclips. Their considerable diamond weight, sculptural craftsmanship, rarity and distinctive monochrome design make this an opportunity to acquire an exceptional jewel at a price that compares favourably with the wider market for signed Italian designer jewellery.
