Art Deco Diamond Earring Studs
Mid-century diamond earrings set with 2ctw old cut diamonds in 18k.
Mid-century Straits Chinese jewelry can be loud, sometimes strange, but always diamond-studded, signalling the beginning of studded diamond jewelry in the retro years.
This pair looks like a cactus, probably not intended, though its Art Deco beauty is distinct, unique.
In each stud, five bigger round diamonds are raised above the remaining smaller ones; this effect really ‘lifts’ the earrings and transforms its cluster arrangement into something so chic and eye-catching.
The spread of the arrangement gives the illusion this is a big pair of diamond cluster earrings but they are really medium pair stud earrings.
In a pair of earrings, the elongated Art Deco form is very elegant.
