Star designs are widely used in jewelry, representing a variety of different meanings. Most commonly signifying guidance, guiding one’s journey through life. They are also said to symbolize hope, ambition and determination, motivating a person to reach for their goals.

Aim for the stars!

The stars are handmade in platinum (Pt900) each set with an beautifully cut old European diamond of approx. 0.65-0.70 ct and approx. 0.80-0.85 ct, assessed in the set condition, millegrain set with old-cut and octagonal cut diamond, Bright lively stones. Estimated color I / vs.

The surrounding stones are a mix of old European cut diamonds and the smallest stones are single-cut diamonds. Per earring approx. 5 x 0.05 ct and single-cut 10 x 0.01 ct, in total approx. 0.35 ct per earring. So over a carat per each ear!

The pins are later. They are made in 18kt white gold with a screw mechanism. This tells us that the stars probably started out their life as something else.
