* * SOLD * *
A pair of Art Nouveau era chandelier earrings, fabricated in platinum, whose diamond-set, pendant finials are made to resemble a garland of ribbons and leaves, centering on a six-petaled flower blossom. These flower garlands are hinged, where the earrings' ribbons meet their leaves, and each frames a stemmed, old European cut diamond flower bud, that swings freely inside. Our garlands drop from long, slender, diamond-set bars (like exclamation points!), which in turn drop from stacked pairs of bezel-set diamonds. Earwires are posts with friction backs. These are at once sophisticated, romantic, and whimsical! We love the dimensionality here, the earrings' big, icy sparkle, and the many moving parts that make them fascinating, in wear!
