The fluid brilliance of the teardrop motif
The hollowed-out teardrop shape lends a sense of lightness whilst maximising the surface area on which the gemstones can shine. This design features a flexible band entirely set with brilliant-cut diamonds, with an estimated total weight of 0.80 carats. The setting is crafted from 18K white gold. This pre-owned piece is characterised by a subtle mobility that accompanies every movement with an uninterrupted sparkle.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The design is based on an openwork structure where each stone benefits from meticulous back-cutting. This technique allows light to pass through the culet of the diamonds, enhancing their brilliance. The diamonds are held in place by a discreet claw setting that leaves the table of the gemstones exposed. The mirror-polished white gold creates a cool, neutral base that blends harmoniously with the pure colour of the diamonds.
Why choose these second-hand earrings
Purchasing a pair of second-hand gem-set drop earrings is a highly pragmatic decision. The hinged assembly and hand-setting of around thirty calibrated diamonds require a significant amount of workshop time, which has a major impact on new market prices. The structural delicacy of this setting ensures a very light and comfortable fit throughout the day, whilst maintaining a striking visual presence.
