Ascending Shadows Drop Earrings

The design cue for these drop earrings is the way stepped surfaces play with light and shade, reminiscent of the spiral staircase in De Beers Jewellers’ new flagship store in Old Bond Street, London. Dark blue titanium steps fan out to frame light blue titanium, which is pavé-set with round brilliant white diamonds that graduate towards prong-set marquise-cut white diamonds and green roughs. Each separate element was individually articulated, giving these earrings a strong sense of fluidity. In the centre of the two fan motifs is an exquisite 2.10 carat fancy dark grey emerald-cut diamond, set in titanium and appearing to free-float. An 18k white gold back clasp ensures a perfect fit on the ear.
