Palmiero Diamond White Gold Drop Hoop Earrings

Italian jewelry designer Carlo Palmiero is highly skillful at capturing volumes of negative space, suggestions of lightness, and ephemeral moments. Using the color palette and materials of shimmering Edwardian jewelry to express a style completely contemporary and unique, these Signed Palmiero Diamond White Gold Dangle Earrings, made in Italy in the 21st century, circa 2010s, capture a fleeting, exquisite, and sculptural moment in time—the resultant rings of water that splash up after something has hit the surface.

Crafted in 18K white gold, the earrings at their essence are hoops turned 90 degrees to face outwards, yet embellished with a fine mesh-like armature in which round diamonds weighing an approximate total of 7.21 carats of G-H color and VS clarity are set. It is only from examining the reverse side of these delicate wisps that the structure becomes fathomable. The rich and complex dynamics underlying such a system are revealed. There is azuring in the metal, a technique where shaped cutouts are hand-carved behind each diamond to allow light in and make the gemstones sparkle. Such an exquisite hand-wrought detail takes a jeweler numerous hours to achieve, and it is well worth it here. The unique structure of water is expertly sculpted and embellished, with diamonds gracing the folds, strategically placed on both sides of the metal mesh.

The way the edges of the giant water droplets have been conceived of is sublime. We can imagine the perfect round shape of the object that hit the water to cause this result. We can imagine its weight of some significance judging from the formation it left behind. The artist in Carlo Palmiero shows us just how the jet is forced upwards by the surrounding water pressure. Palmiero draws inspiration from moments and memories that give shape to his abstract inspirations in precious metals and gemstones. His jewelry designs are imbued with emotions and passions and provide an uplifting catharsis for the wearer. The beautiful way in which he describes the plasticity of a liquid, granting us this perfect moment of observation, is catharsis indeed.
