The timeless harmony of pearls and diamonds
The combination of mother-of-pearl and diamonds is one of the most fundamental pairings in classic jewellery. This piece features two striking cultured pearls, each measuring 10.3 mm in diameter, selected for their perfect roundness and pure white lustre. Each pearl is delicately accentuated by a brilliant-cut diamond set at its base, the whole resting on intricately crafted 18K white gold settings. This pre-owned piece embodies a stately and luminous elegance.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The design of these earrings is based on a finely openwork setting that supports the pearl whilst allowing light to pass through. The lower diamond, with an estimated weight of 0.15 carats per earring for a total of approximately 0.30 carats, is set with discreet prongs. To ensure a perfect fit given the pearl’s size, the settings are fitted with a high-security fastening system. The threaded posts are combined with screw-down mechanical clasps, ensuring a secure hold and a perfect fit against the earlobe.
Why choose these second-hand earrings
Purchasing this classic design second-hand is a highly sensible choice. Cultured pearls exceeding one centimetre in diameter require years to grow and undergo a rigorous selection process, making them particularly expensive on the new market. The inclusion of complex safety clasps adds undeniable technical value to this pair. This approach allows you to incorporate a centrepiece into your wardrobe whilst keeping your investment under control.
