Starry Night Diamond Earrings Yellow Gold Ruby

The drop is articulated below the lobe, jointed so it moves independently of the top rather than swinging as one piece. The surface is close-set: 256 diamonds with almost no metal showing between them.

That is 274 settings, cut and closed one at a time. The diamonds and rubies are matched for tone before anything is set, which takes longer than matching for size. 18KT gold holds the settings rigid where 22KT would move.

18KT Yellow Gold. 25.85g. Diamonds: 256 pcs. Rubies: 18 pcs, 6.32 cts. Made to order.
