Spectra Fine Jewelry Sapphire Diamond Halo Platinum Button Stud Earrings

The deep blue of a sapphire hits the eye in such a pleasing and calming way. Shakespeare wrote of "the heaven-hued sapphire" in his narrative poem, Lover's Complaint and rulers of ancient Persia believed the sky was painted blue by the reflection of sapphire stones. The gem has inspired much poetic language and artful jewelry alike throughout the ages. However, it is difficult to say which is more mesmerizing in these beautiful Spectra Fine Jewelry Sapphire Diamond Halo Platinum Button Stud Earrings—the rectangular emerald-cut sapphires which are the feature, or the illusion halo settings which surround them.

Crafted in platinum, the earrings center on two blue sapphire weighing an estimated 14.40 carats total. The sapphire are accompanied by America Gemological Laboratories (AGL) reports stating that the natural corundum blue sapphires are of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) origin with indication of thermal treatment. The majority of colored gemstones on the market including sapphire are commonly heated to modify their color and appearance. The pair of sapphire (A: estimated 6.78 carats and B: estimated 7.62 carats) are surrounded by white diamond halos with an estimated total weight of 10.00 carats of F-H color and VS clarity, arranged in compositions that are as geometrically pleasing as they are striking and unusual.

At each cut-corner of the blue gem is placed an oval-shape diamond at a lively angle, bezel-set in platinum. The 8 oval diamonds weigh an estimated 4.00 carats total and sparkle with effervescent brilliance, as if contrasting the entrancing effects of the emerald-cut’s unique geometry. At each of the sides are 8 baguette diamonds weighing an estimated 2.50 carats total, reinforcing the sleek lines. Baguettes are part of the same step-cut family as emerald cuts, displaying long, linear facets. Both of these cuts create an entrancing “hall of mirrors” effect and appeal to a clean, modern aesthetic. Perpendicular to the halos are yet another type of sparkling embellishment—rows of pavé diamonds weighing an estimated 3.50 carats total which extend the brilliance, fire, and scintillation far beyond the earrings’ borders. The earrings are designed for pierced ears, outfitted with posts and French clips. The settings, open at the back, help the stones reflect light in lovely ways, as poetic as verse from the Bard himself.

Measures approx. 0.65" x 0.5". Ceylon heated Sapphires weight approx. 14.40 carats total (A 6.78ct & B 7.62ct); accompanied with AGL Certificate. Diamond weight approx. 10.00 carats total; estimated F-G-H colors, VS clarity. Overall weight approx. 20.10 grams, made in platinum. Circa 2017.
