Stunning Pair of Diamond Earrings
Kindly donated by Ogden of Harrogate
Treat yourself or a special person in your life to this exquisite pair of diamond earrings by Ogden of Harrogate.
Originally mined in the nineteenth century, the diamonds have a story of their own and were once featured in a necklace created by Ogdens in c.1920. Each brilliant cut diamond, weighing 0.56 carats and 0.58 carats respectively, has been set in an 18-carat gold handmade setting in Ogden of Harrogate’s workshops. Unusually for diamonds of this age, the stones have a wonderful H/I colour and VS2 clarity, making them an exemplary addition to your jewellery collection.

THE CAUSE
Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them.
The vast majority of the estimated 5.4 million children confined to orphanages aren’t even orphans. Around eight in every ten children have at least one living parent or relative who could care for them, given the right support.
And for children without family, there is always a better option than an orphanage.
That’s why we’re raising essential funds for the work of Hope and Homes for Children in Ukraine, helping ensure more children like Ivan (shown right with his mum, Galina) grow up in a loving family, where they belong.
Always family. Never orphanages.
