Read the full description
You can begin the custom design process by reaching out to us through our website or by stopping by our Bellevue, WA showroom in person. We’ll go over your ideas with you and use the information you give us to develop a unique design for you in CAD. These digital models will be available for you to view through the online workroom we set up to manage your project, and you can use this forum to request any modifications you’d like as well.
Amethysts and Diamonds
Each earring contains a pair of gemstones, with the larger amethysts at the bottom and the smaller diamonds suspended above. The amethysts are both cushion cut, and they combine to weigh 1.70 carats. The diamonds, by comparison, are much smaller, coming in at a combined carat weight of 0.04. Earrings
Both types of stones are bezel set in 14k white gold, however, and they produce a lovely color contrast while balancing each other out nicely in their respective roles in the design. The amethysts are positioned with their rounded corners at the compass positions, and the diamonds sit directly above the top corner of the larger stones, suspended by two chain links from the main bodies of the earrings.
Filigree and Milgrain Accents
The bezel settings holding the amethysts are lined with a double row of milgrain beading, while the settings holding the diamonds are accented by a single row. The milgrain also appears on the filigree baskets behind the larger stones, adding to the vintage overtones of the design while simultaneously highlighting the intricacy of the filigree pattern.
