Cross Earrings Appraisal

Chrome Hearts 22k Gold and Diamond Cross Dangle Earrings

This is a pair of Chrome Hearts 22k gold and diamond dangle earrings. Each earring features a cross pendant suspended from a bell-shaped stud. The gold exhibits a rich, warm hue consistent with a high karat purity like 22k, and appears to have a polished finish that reflects light, though some minor surface wear or patina may be present given its use. The crosses are adorned with what appear to be pavé-set diamonds, enhancing their sparkle; the diamonds are small, round, and uniformly distributed across the surface of the cross, indicating meticulous craftsmanship. One cross clearly shows the diamond setting, while the other is less distinct, possibly due to lighting or orientation, but likely mirrored in design. The design of the cross is reminiscent of the Chrome Hearts 'Filigree Cross' or 'Tiny CH Plus' motifs, characterized by its stylized, often ornate arms that broaden slightly at the ends. The connection between the bell-shaped stud and the cross is made via a small jump ring, allowing for subtle movement. The studs themselves are simple and likely intended for pierced ears, featuring a post and a flared, bell-like cap. The overall construction suggests a high level of quality, typical of Chrome Hearts fine jewelry. There are no visible major damages such as dents or breaks, but close inspection would be needed to confirm the absence of minor scratches or wear consistent with normal use. The style is distinctive of the Chrome Hearts brand, known for its Gothic-inspired, rock-and-roll aesthetic, and likely dates from the contemporary period, reflecting the brand's established presence in luxury jewelry.
