The teardrop-shaped earrings are crafted in silver with 14k yellow gold wires, giving a lovely mixed metals appeal to the design. The surmount of the earrings feature 7 rose cut diamonds in collet settings loosely in the form of a cross. Dangling from the surmounts are teardrops composed of 10 more rose cut diamonds set in sterling collets. Within each teardrop dangle hang 3 more graduating rose cut diamonds, giving this pair of earrings amazing movement and flash with every turn of the head!
