These earrings are built around colour contrast. At the centre is a cushion-cut fancy yellow diamond. It's framed by a tight halo of smaller yellow diamonds, then a ring of deep blue gemstones, and finally an outer layer of brilliant white diamonds.
You're looking at a pair of cushion-shaped halo earrings. The face is a layered square of gems: yellow at the centre, then blue, then white, all set in a bright white metal. The earring on the right is turned to show the solid construction and the hinged leverback closure that clicks securely into place. The prongs holding the main yellow diamond are yellow gold to amplify its colour.
We make these from solid 18k gold, which is 75% pure gold, so they have a nice heft and are very kind to sensitive skin. The white gold setting is plated with rhodium, a member of the platinum family. This gives it a brighter, whiter finish and adds a layer of scratch resistance. All the small halo stones are set in a tight French pavé style, which means very little metal is visible, creating an almost continuous surface of sparkle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the prongs around the centre yellow diamond look yellow?
We use 18k yellow gold for those specific prongs to enhance the natural colour of the fancy yellow diamond. Setting a yellow stone in white metal can make it appear paler, so the yellow gold surround helps it look its richest and warmest.
Can I wear these 18k gold diamond and sapphire earrings in the shower?
It's best to take them off before showering. While water won't harm the 18k gold or the stones, soap and shampoo can build up a film over time, which will dull their shine. It also reduces the risk of an earring getting snagged or accidentally falling out.
How heavy are these diamond halo earrings, and will they pull on my earlobes?
While they are made of solid 18k gold and have a significant carat weight, they're designed to be wearable. The leverback closure helps distribute the weight across a larger part of your earlobe compared to a post, making them feel more secure and comfortable than a stud of a similar size might.
