Earrings are the piece you see least yourself and others see most. Whether it sits close to the ear or moves changes how the light falls and how a piece looks.

Studs: close to the ear, for every day

A stud sits directly on the earlobe. It does not get in the way, stays in place under a scarf and is the choice for every day.

  • Athena: the entry piece. A glass sphere of 6 millimetres with a brilliant of 0.04 carat.
  • Artemis: the small 6 millimetre sphere, framed by four tiny diamonds, with a brilliant of 0.04 carat at its centre.
  • Helena: the stud with a halo. A ring of 30 small diamonds around an 8 millimetre glass half-sphere holding a brilliant of 0.08 carat.
  • D I G studs: the house monogram in polished gold, below it an 8 millimetre glass sphere with a brilliant of 0.16 carat.

Drop earrings: light in motion

A drop earring moves with every step. The light travels through the glass and the stone changes its brilliance.

  • Grace: a slender gold hook with a 7 millimetre glass sphere holding a brilliant of 0.08 carat. Reduced, from office to evening.
  • Diana: the more festive twin of Grace, with a pavé line of eight small diamonds on the hook.
  • D I G drop earrings: the monogram set with pavé, 114 diamonds per pair, below it 8 millimetre spheres in turquoise glass.
  • Aurora: a line of 48 stones per ear ending in an 8 millimetre glass sphere. From the Aurora high jewellery line.
