Diamond Cluster and Platinum Earrings
$25,000
The thrilling composition of this pair of mid-20th century platinum earrings with round-, baguette-, and marquise-cut diamonds clustered together in a semi-circular pattern against the lobe, framing the face with radiant light. Two intertwined diamond-encrusted vines seem to wrap around and pull away from one another, creating fascinating dramatic tension. The central element of the earring terminates at the jawline with a floral bouquet of marquise diamonds, creating a lovely, tender effect.
