Antique Raj Enchanted Watermelon Tourmaline Leaf Carved Gemstone Earrings
A dramatic and magical expression of antique Indian artistry, these one-of-a-kind Raj-era earrings are crafted in a refined combination of 14k yellow gold and silver, showcasing extraordinary natural watermelon-hued tourmalines carved into intricate leaf forms that glow with shifting tones of pink and green. The richly sculpted surfaces reveal different colors depending on the light—an enchanting hallmark of bi-color tourmaline and a testament to the exceptional skill of the original artisan.
Suspended from ornate diamond-framed tops, each carved tourmaline leaf is bordered by old-cut diamonds and accented with vivid emeralds, creating a regal interplay of sparkle and hue. At the uppermost point, a sculptural floral cluster centers on a luminous emerald cabochon, from which the carved drops hang on articulated hinges. This thoughtful construction allows the gemstones to sway gracefully, enhancing their color-shifting brilliance and giving the earrings a sense of life and movement.
Rooted in the Mughal and Raj traditions of carved gemstones, botanical motifs, and elaborate metalwork, these earrings embody all the hallmarks of historic court jewelry—dramatic scale, intricate craftsmanship, and lavish gemstone presence.
Offered in good estate condition, this pair is a rare treasure for the collector who appreciates extraordinary gemstones, bold antique glamour, and meaningful heritage design.
