Marquise Shape 3 Row Diamond Fashion Earrings

Three rows rise from the lobe in these earrings, each one narrower than the last so the marquise silhouette resolves as the eye travels upward. A total of 19 round cut diamonds carrying weight 1/5 Ctw are pave set across both earrings across those rows, the stones placed close enough that the metal between them nearly disappears and each row reads as a single band of light. Yellow and white gold are worked together across the 10 karat construction, with a rhodium finish over the white gold sharpening the contrast between the two tones. Building the design in tiers rather than a single flat face gives the earrings depth, so they read differently head on than they do in profile. Two-tone construction adds a second layer of that same contrast. The layering gives the pair real dimension at the ears, and they close with a total weight of 1/5 Ctw.
