The story
Created by Harry Winston, these diamond earrings are fashioned in 18k white gold and set with approximately 10.80 carats of diamonds in total. Each earring centers on a prominent round brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 1.40 carats, encircled by a richly layered arrangement of smaller round brilliant-cut and pear-shaped diamonds totaling approximately 8.00 carats across the pair.
The composition unfolds in graduated tiers, with closely set brilliant-cut diamonds surrounding the central stones and an outer border of pear-shaped diamonds extending outward like pointed petals. Their alternating orientations create an irregular, softly scalloped silhouette, lending the earrings a sense of natural movement despite their carefully balanced symmetry. The white gold settings remain discreet, allowing the individual diamonds to appear almost suspended beside one another.
The design reflects Harry Winston's celebrated approach to diamond jewelry, in which the arrangement of stones takes precedence over the visibility of the metal. Rather than relying on elaborate goldwork, the composition draws its character from the interplay of diamond shapes, proportions, and reflections. The result is a pair of earrings with considerable brilliance and depth, yet an unexpectedly delicate floral character.
Measuring approximately 0.825 inches in diameter, the earrings have a substantial presence while retaining the versatility of a classic diamond cluster. Their construction also allows for the addition of detachable drops, offering the possibility of a more elaborate silhouette without altering the original studs.
