The unique charm of the Chopard clover
The Happy Diamonds concept was born in 1976 when a designer at the manufacture observed the sun’s rays glinting off a waterfall in the Black Forest and realised that a loose diamond possesses a unique brilliance. This pair of second-hand earrings features the clover motif. The 18-carat yellow gold setting houses two moving brilliant-cut diamonds set within sapphire lenses. A pavé setting of 46 small diamonds surrounds the central motif, with an estimated total weight of 0.29 carats. The piece bears the reference number 836955-0002, finely engraved on the edge.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The design of these stud earrings is based on a technical contrast masterfully executed by the craftsmen. The rim of the setting is accentuated by a grain setting holding the 46 surrounding diamonds, designed to maximise the passage of light across the facets. At the centre of each earring sits a diamond, securely held in place by a delicate cylindrical bezel setting. These central stones move freely between two completely flat sapphire crystals, which are sealed within the yellow gold body. The overall structure offers great lightness for everyday wear whilst ensuring the integrity of the transparent central space.
Why choose these second-hand earrings
Acquiring an iconic signature piece second-hand represents a discerning aesthetic and financial decision. The cost of contemporary jewellery craftsmanship and the complexity of integrating the sapphire crystals make these historic pieces particularly desirable on the current market. Purchasing this piece provides access to the prestige of a leading Geneva-based jewellery house at a fair price.
