A pair of Art Deco era drop earrings, modeled in platinum and 18k yellow gold, whose many old cut diamonds and blue sapphires are arranged in the manner of a target, or flower-like cluster. At the center of each cluster, a .40 carat old European cut diamond is held in a low-profile, milgrained bezel. Surrounding this primary diamond, a ring of medium blue calibre cut sapphires, which are in turn haloed by a series of chunky old European cut diamonds. A single bezel set diamond floats above our clusters— a finial for each ear wire. Earwires are posts with clever, hinged, locking leaver mechanisms. These earrings make a big visual impact, while remaining elegant and somewhat restrained. They are a great scale for frequent wear, and special enough for occasions! We especially love the scalloped outer edge of these clusters, and the fine milgrained details that finish every "border."
