Katherine Graham Black & White Earrings

These elegant earrings are inspired by the antique Edwardian style. I purchased these earrings to try to replicate the style in many various color gemstones. As I tried, the cost to make these are considerably more than what I purchased them at, unless they are made overseas, which is ethically not an option for me since I support local US businesses. The onyx are hand cut and made to graduate beautifully with pave diamond rondelles that also graduate. The diamond rondelles have two rows of pavé set diamonds. It is very difficult to set diamonds of this size into a pavé setting. The leverbacks and cap are detailed with pavé set diamonds as well.
These are definitely black tie earrings and look wonderful with a black tahitian pearl necklace.
