About the Item
These twiggy little nests used to be clip-ons (ouch!) with florets of tiny emeralds in the center. After converting the backs to posts with omega clips, we realized we didn't really like the emerald florets. The stones were pretty nice, actually -- very deep green -- but very small, and the floret was extremely prongy. We replaced the emeralds and their overbearing prongs with single bezels for two fiery orange sapphires.
The tidy bezels and brilliant orange stones give these earrings an instant update, and they're completely unique, just like the woman who wears them...
Measurements:
Diameter: 3/4"
Sapphires: 6mm
Marks: These earrings are 18 karat yellow gold with the exception of the omega clips, which are 18 karat white gold. The clips are stamped "18Kt" and "ITALY."
Weights:
Total weight: 14.7 grams (7.35 grams per earring)
Sapphires: 2.83 carats (total)
Note: If you would prefer traditional post closures, please let us know and we'll remove the omega clips and provide 18 karat butterfly closures. We can also convert them back to clip-ons if you'd prefer! We'll even make them into SCREWBACKS! If you want these on your lobes, we're here to make it happen...

View AllMabe Pearl "Serendipity" Earrings with Orange Sapphire Halos in 18 Karat Gold
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan Brandes made the halo frames for these earrings before picking out the center stone because he knew wanted to use orange sapphires, which he loves, but wasn't sure what would look best inside a ring of these fiery little bad boys.
It turns out EVERYTHING looks good in an orange sapphire halo. But what ultimately won the day were these two gorgeous 16mm shimmery blue-gray mabe pearls.
We call these our Serendipity earrings because it was just by idle chance that Eytan happen to spy a pair of dated clip-ons that have been sitting in his pearl drawer for about a century. And it was a minor miracle that they fit his new halos perfectly -- like they've been sitting in that drawer all these years waiting for Eytan to save them from fusty, dusty, musty clip-on purgatory!
The 56 sapphires -- totaling 0.99 carats -- are natural, faceted and meticulously hand-set with tiny beads, pavé-style. The closures are simple shepherd wires.
