The earrings were made by R. & S. Garrard & Co. in 1858 for
Queen Victoria and consist of four cushion-cut colletset diamonds, taken from an existing aigrette and Garter Star, and two drop-shaped pendants (of approximately 12 and 7 carats).
The drop pendants were originally set as the side stones of the Indian armlet setting of the Koh-i-nûr.
