These delicate drop hook earrings are made up from a little clover on top, followed by a row of three diamonds, and terminate in a small natural seed pearl. Each earring is set with eight old mine-cut diamonds, which all have been set in open settings, allowing light to pass through the stones.
Their design is so small that I wonder if they were originally worn by a teenager, and would look best on a petit ear: as you can see in the picture, my lobe doesn’t do them justice :).
