If you’d like to use these earrings as inspiration for your set, we’ll guide you through the process of making modifications until they perfectly match your vision, and we’ll show you exactly what we plan on making through highly-detailed CAD models that we’ll share with you online. These can be adjusted as many times as necessary until they’re exactly what you’re looking for, and we’ll only begin actual production after you give your explicit approval to do so.

Blue Sapphire Centers
At the center of these earrings are bezel set round blue sapphires. The body of the earring surrounds them, and its shape is mostly round, only coming to points at the compass positions. Within this, a square is offset 45 degrees from the points of the circle, and its sides run along the outer margin of the sapphire’s bezel setting.
This leaves a small opening between each corner of the square and the curve of the sapphire, helping to enhance the ornate look of the design, while also highlighting the perfectly circular cut of the gems. Earrings
Diamond Halos and Milgrain
All of of the metal edges in this piece, including the outline of the square and the bezel setting in the middle, are lined with milgrain beading for added vintage flair. There are round bright cut set diamond accents on all four sides of the square as well, tucked between its outer edges and the inner margin of the larger circle.
These diamonds are all bright cut set, and they taper in size from the middle going out towards the side in order to fill the available space appropriately. Each earring holds 20 of these accent diamonds, and all together, they total 0.22 carats.

- We help you choose stones for your custom design, reviewing cut, color, clarity, consistency and fit. Your budget guides these choices; our standards for materials and craftsmanship remain the same.
