Vintage-Style Milgrain Diamond Chandelier Pendent Earring

A single chandelier-style dangle earring crafted in a white metal, likely 14K or 18K white gold or platinum, featuring an ornate open-work teardrop design. The earring is suspended from a kite-shaped stud post accented with small pavé-set diamonds. The main body consists of an outer open pear-shaped frame meticulously grain-set with round brilliant-cut diamonds and accented with milgrain edging for a vintage aesthetic. From the bottom of the frame, five circular bezel-set diamond charms (dangles) are suspended, increasing in size toward the center to create a rhythmic fringe effect. Additionally, a single bezel-set diamond is suspended within the interior of the pear-shaped frame, adding a layer of kinetic motion. Based on the construction and the use of milgrain detailing, this piece appears to be a contemporary high-quality reproduction of Art Deco style or a late 20th-century designer piece. The diamonds appear to have good clarity and color consistency, although a professional loupe inspection would be required to confirm carat weight. The condition is excellent with no missing stones or significant deformation to the metalwork, showing only minor surface scuffing consistent with careful wear. Note that as a single earring, its replacement value transitions to its intrinsic scrap value and the value of the loose stones unless its pair is recovered.
