Once we have an idea about the direction you’d like to go with your design, we’ll develop models in CAD that we’ll then share with you through the dedicated workroom we set up to manage your project. You can request any changes you like to these models, and we can even grow a wax of your piece for you to inspect in person before giving final approval to move your project into production.
Diamond Settings
These earrings center on a pair of round brilliant cut diamonds, the two of which total 4.0 carats combined. They’re each held in a six-prong setting made of platinum, and the prongs are formed from the sides of two U-shaped pieces of metal coming together at the point. This pattern is repeated all the way around the stone, giving the setting a vaguely floral feel and a gently decorative look. Earrings
Adding to that floral quality is the placement of the prongs, which meet the stones at the top and bottom, with two others evenly spaced on either side. This gives the feeling of a flower as well, and it also helps to highlight the elegant shape of the diamonds.
Earring Design and Customization Options
The diamond settings connect to the finding through a curved piece of metal that arches up from the middle of the back, curving towards the ear and then down and around to join the clasp. The clasp, in turn, connects to the bottom of the back of the diamond setting, and that’s where the joint is as well.
To customize a piece like this, there are a few subtle changes you can make that will have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the design. For instance, switching to a different cut or shape of diamond would dramatically alter the look of the set, as would introducing some contrast through the use of a colored diamond or sapphire to replace the white diamonds. Using rose or yellow gold is an option as well, and this would help to reinforce the classical appearance of the set while also bringing some contrast of its own.
