These star-shaped earrings will add a little sparkle to your outfit!
Each earring is made from high-carat gold and set with seven irregularly shaped rose-cut diamonds that are placed in open settings, allowing light to pass through the stones.
Originally, the posts were fitted with screw closures, which are typical of the era but can be uncomfortable to wear due to the riveted edges needed to secure them. These were filed down in the past, creating 'normal' posts, with modern closures added to ensure you can enjoy them immediately.
