Description :
Fabulous, luxurious earrings with sprays of diamonds and emerald drops. Upper sections are a stylised openwork spray of scrolling foliage, fanning out, circling around itself and leading the eye in a large arch that culminates in an elegant drop - a line of diamonds that lead to the suspended emerald. The line of diamonds, much like a branch or twig with foliage is suspended from the upper section and free to swing and sway as the wearer moves. Diamonds are a combination of simple cut and baguette cuts. In turn, the emeralds are also very finely articulated and have freedom of movement. While almost all emeralds are included, these have very minor inclusions and for the most part, appear quite transparent to the naked eye.
Eye-catching movement and fabulous bright green color of the emeralds. Impressive, luxurious earrings.
The quality of the earrings is also reflected when we look at the backs and the clean workmanship. In addition, the earrings can be worn by someone with pierced or without pierced ears.
A rare combination of post and clip fittings. The posts can fold up when not in use. Clips are secure and can be used to secure the posts when worn with pierced ears.
