Peacock White Gold Polki Diamond Earrings

A peacock carries the piece. The tail opens across the width and the eye of each feather is set individually. Top and drop are hinged separately. That joint is what gives the movement its second beat. The diamonds run along the form, 196 of them, spaced so the metal still shows.

The stones are set the jadau way: gold softened over heat and worked up around each one, with no claw and no solder showing. The order matters, because once a stone is bedded the metal beside it cannot be reheated. 18KT gold holds the settings rigid where 22KT would move.

18KT White Gold. Diamonds: 196 pcs. Polki diamonds. Made to order.
