The structured design of diamond hoop earrings
These fitted hoop earrings were inspired by a desire to combine fine jewellery with everyday wear. This design, crafted to follow the contour of the earlobe, creates a continuous play of light. This 18-carat white gold design perfectly exemplifies this approach. The 20 brilliant-cut diamonds, with an estimated total weight of 1.20 carats, adorn the front of the setting. Colourless and transparent, these stones offer a clear refraction of light. This pre-owned piece features a simple yet elegant design, crafted to last.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting, measuring 1.5 centimetres in diameter, is distinguished by its density. The diamonds are arranged in two parallel rows. The shared-claw setting minimises the amount of metal visible between the gemstones. Light passes through the culet of each stone thanks to a regular openwork cut directly into the inner surface of the ring. The polish of the 18-carat white gold accentuates the contrast with the brilliance of the diamonds.
Why these second-hand hoop earrings
The purchase of this piece is part of a discerning approach. Unlike contemporary designs, which often tend to use lighter structures, this setting features a generous amount of material. The total diamond weight, at around 1.20 carats, is a tangible asset. The technical craftsmanship and the sturdiness of the hinge are testament to meticulous workmanship, which would be difficult to replicate at a comparable cost today.
