Usually the word cluster in conjunction with the word diamond makes me think of rather underwhelming mall jewellery. But this gorgeous pair of antique Russian earrings … nothing could be further from mall tat.

These feature six carats of F colour old European and cold cushion cut diamonds, set in 14k gold, and made in St Petersburg between 1908 and 1917.

These are from Etsy seller Romanov Russia and sell for USD$23,500.
