here's the story
behind these earrings. It all started when a buddy of mine had a vision of a ring he wanted to make... well, he wanted us to make. It was supposed to look like the sun. There were two before bright white rays of light
emanating from a fiery center.
Here is the
result:
Mind you, I was skeptical from the get-go. I knew we could make the ring, I just didn't know, how it would hold up (he's a boxing promoter) or how he would like the finished product. Here's how we had to make it
...
We
started with a "five diamond = a star" set. As shown in the photo above. Below
you can see a single diamond.
We had our
cutter trim the top off making it flat, as you see in the ring- and now the earrings.
Obviously there was one left over. We did not trim that one but ended up putting it in a necklace or something.
Anyway- as I
suspected, the ring came back a few times.
First- he lost the center (ouch).
Apparently he was playing football in the snow in Central Park- the ring flew
off - amazing that he found the ring itself!
But the diamond?
Oh well.
Anyway,
eventually he practically destroyed the entire thing. I understand that when he
hit guys wearing this ring it was an instant knockout.
Just kidding
about that part.....
But I was not kidding about the fact that this guy is incredibly tough on jewelry. That's why I recommended he not have us make such a heavy ring with the diamonds in such a position that they would constantly be getting hit.
By the time he
gave up and asked us to sell the ring for scrap ( this monstrosity I mean rain,
weighed like a half a pound of platinum), most of the stones had chipped. We
ended up with two unique kite diamonds- custom cut and both of these are
perfect.
The earrings are totally feminine delicate and beautiful. You can wear them every day, or in an evening gown. I wish I could claim the design of these, but I'm just not that smart. My better half designed these
All the
diamonds are set in extremely clean bezels- all in 18karat handmade white gold.
There are friction backs attached
to the top bezels. Always dangling a flowing motion on these puppies!
