GIA Certified Fancy Yellow
White Diamond Earrings
By Spectra Fine Jewelry
Located in New York, NY
Sparkling with splendor of the sun itself, yellow diamonds are sure to usher happiness and joy into your life. The Contemporary Yellow Radiant Diamond Drop Earrings, made by Spectra Fine Jewelry in 2023, are crafted in 18K yellow gold and platinum and feature two outstanding radiant-cut yellow diamonds with an estimated weight of 12.78 carats total. The yellow diamonds are accompanied by a reort by Gemological Institute of America (GIA) stating they are natural diamonds of fancy yellow color with even distribution and VVS2 clarity with estimated carat weights of 6.63 and 6.15 carats, respectively.
Fancy yellow diamonds are not only beautiful, but they are also rare and quite valuable - even more so at this large size. Approximately only 1 out of 16,500 carats that are mined is a yellow diamond, far more commonly in weights under 1 carat. This means that larger stones, which are much more rare, can be even more valuable than their colorless counterparts. It is not only the size of the diamond that makes it most challenging to match in a pair of earrings as symmetrical as these, but also the range of color that will vary with carat weight. Further, faceting changes the sparkle and nuances in color hue and saturation. The gemstones in these elegant drop earrings present visually as exquisite matches and as such, are a rare example of superlative curation and quality.

Ambrosi 18kt White Gold Diamond Turquoise
Emerald Necklace Set
By Ambrosi
Located in New York, NY
Behold the exquisite Ambrosi Contemporary Gemstone Demi-Parure Suite, a testament to Italian artistry and sophistication, meticulously created in Italy during the contemporary era, circa the 21st century. This suite is a harmonious fusion of two captivating components: a double-strand riviere necklace and a pair of matching drop earrings, all meticulously crafted in 18kt white gold.
At the heart of this demi-parure suite lies a concise yet profoundly elegant design, featuring two repeating motifs that dance in lyrical harmony. The necklace showcases a mesmerizing interplay of 28 hand-carved turquoise fans and 28 oval cabochon emeralds, gracefully arranged across two adjoined concentric strands. Each motif is meticulously encircled with a delicate halo of pavé diamonds, boasting an impressive total weight of approximately 7.18 carats. The turquoise fans and emerald ovals, occasionally joined and articulated, offer a unique fluidity to the design, allowing light to play across the gemstones in the most captivating manner.
The accompanying drop earrings, measuring 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) in length, mirror this configuration with two distinctive variations. A third mirror image fan below the central motif adds a symmetrical touch, while the widthwise oval is gracefully rotated 90 degrees, elongating the silhouette for a striking effect. These earrings are designed as clip-back, with the option to be converted to post earrings for pierced ears, offering both convenience and elegance.

Bulgari 18k Gold Diamond Emerald Parure Suite, Italy, Circa 2000s
By Bulgari
Located in New York, NY
It was 1963 in Italy on the set of Cleopatra when Richard Burton famously said, “I introduced Liz to beer, she introduced me to Bulgari,” referring to the film’s iconic star, Elizabeth Taylor. It was even rumored that Ms. Taylor had requested the Italian jewelry house to wait around the set with their latest collection, so she could go shopping in between takes.
Founded in 1884 in Rome, Bulgari is known for voluminous forms, signature sunny shades of yellow gold, and vibrantly colored gemstones composed in curvaceous patterns. In the 1920s, however, their high jewelry creations reflected the design of traditional French Maisons, incorporating platinum and diamonds with stylized Art Deco design. This suite, made in Italy during the Contemporary Era, is reminiscent of the geometry of Bulgari’s early style brought into the modern age, with juicy floral patterns featuring a bounty of emeralds - inviting abundance, love, and good fortune to the wearer.
Flowers have long been a favorite with the jewelry house, beginning with its en tremblant brooches, created in the 1950s and 1960s as well as with the Fiorever collection today, which draws inspiration from the four-petal flower venerated by the Romans as a symbol of happiness. This exquisite diamond and emerald parure...

Spectra Fine Jewelry 10.74 Carats Illusion Asscher-shape Diamond Stud Earrings
By Spectra Fine Jewelry
Located in New York, NY
These Spectra Fine Jewelry Illusion Asscher-shape Diamond Stud Earrings, made in the 21st century, suggest something much larger. Crafted in 18K white gold, the pair of earrings has an estimated diamond-carat weight of 10.74. The arresting pair has a look equivalent to colossal square emerald-cut diamond studs. Still, in fact, each is comprised of nine pie-cut diamonds, weighing an approximate total of 5.37 carats apiece. The earrings are designed for pierced ears and outfitted with posts and locking backs. Rounding out the rather spectacular diamond offering, each backing is decorated with a halo of sparkling round brilliant-cut diamonds, a lovely detail reserved for the wearer that will make putting on the earrings extra special every time.
It is difficult to see that these significant studs are composed of much smaller cut-cornered square emerald cuts placed in the centers. They are surrounded by 8 meticulously matched step-cut diamond halos that fit together like puzzle pieces. Each of the 9-piece studs is mounted in a basket setting, the corners held with 8 strategically well-placed talon-shaped prongs. The shape of the prongs provides an added dash of luxury to the overall look. Talon claws or prongs are crafted based on the appearance of the talons of a bird of prey. They add a certain flair as they are typically used for large gemstones.
If these studs were just one whole gem per ear, they would be exponentially more costly and rare than these clever trompe l’oeil composites. When setting gems in Art Deco jewelry of the 1920s and 1930s, a trompe l’oeil convention was popularly used as an effective optical illusion to make diamonds look larger or make rounds look square. The artful illusion was in the setting, generally, a larger custom-shaped bezel in which rounds were pavé-set; however, not in the composite placement of the stones. Therefore, the expert level of stone setting in these studs is a nod and variation of this design sensibility. Additionally, the earrings reference techniques from the Art Deco period, where custom geometric-cut gemstones were tightly set against one another to create a lush, jeweled...

Vourakis Vintage Platinum Diamond Pearl Drop Earrings, Circa 2000s

Transformable jewelry is not a new idea, but its variations still feel incredibly innovative. This Vourakis set of earrings echoed convertible modular jewelry that has been widely popular at various times throughout the 20th century, especially in the 1920s-30s and again in the 1950s-60s when even the finest French Maisons produced some of the most innovative and chic transformable jewels. Vourakis, based in Greece, has specialized in custom handmade high jewelry in the French tradition for nearly 100 years since 1926. This world-renowned house, one of the "big three" in Greece, is highly sought-after for its magnificent designs and exceptional workmanship. It is often compared with the work of Van Cleef & Arpels, for whom Vourakis produced jewels in the 1950s and 1960s.

Spectra Fine Jewelry GIA Certified 13.79 Carat Diamond Drop Earrings
By Spectra Fine Jewelry
Located in New York, NY
These elegant Diamond Halo Drop Earrings made by Spectra Fine Jewelry in the 21st century, circa 2010, showcase two radiant-cut diamonds set in warm 18k yellow gold each with 4 talon prongs. The diamonds are estimated as 7.01 carats of Y color and VVS2 clarity and 6.78 carats of W color and VS1 clarity, accompanied by reports from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
The cut-cornered rectangular center stones are framed by octagonal diamond double halos comprised of white pavé diamonds mounted in platinum. A single line of pavé diamonds adorns the earring wires, adding to the delicate silhouette and dazzling sparkle. Designed for pierced ears, the symmetrical pair of drop earrings is subtly dramatic, beautifully elongated, and utterly wearable. Radiant-cut diamonds possess a silhouette very similar to a rectangular emerald shape with cut corners, but its facets are cut in a more similar way to that of round brilliant diamonds. This means that the appearance of the diamond has an effervescent hypnotizing sparkle.
The amount of nitrogen that is in the diamond sets the intensity of the yellow color. A diamond with a higher amount of nitrogen will show a stronger yellow. Diamonds with an S through Z color grade are called “light” and feature a visible yellow tint. The pale color and soft, mellow look of a faintly yellow diamond...

The chandelier earring or girandole (French, meaning a candelabra or branched support for candles or other lights) comprises three gemstone drops suspended from a single stone or a more elaborate motif at the top. The chandelier style, which includes both earrings and pendants, was first noted during Roman times, then reemerged during the Renaissance in the 1300s, and remained popular until the late Victorian period in the late 1800s. With revivals of antique-style jewelry in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, many unique adaptations of the chandelier earring emerged.
