These earrings aren’t really my usual style but I find it impossible to look away from them.
Just look at those luscious, verdant tassels. They’re like a forest. I bet they’re perpetually cool to the touch.
These two tiny masterpieces are the work of renowned contemporary jeweler, Hemmerle. The dome-shaped surmounts are adorned with vivid, circular-cut tsavorites set in rose gold. The surmounts each suspend a tassel of graduated emerald beads. The two tassels weigh approximately 103.04 carats and mounted in copper.
I wonder what they look like on the ear – do the tassels dangle directly beneath the earlobe, or hang in front of it? I’d love to see a picture of these being worn.

This piece is Italian and is an antique. You have to wonder what the artist’s original inspiration was. The ring is 1.5 inches long and features a gnarled gentleman carved from red coral, who is giving you a sideways look out of his white gold and diamond frame.
The white gold frame is set with 52 rose-cut diamonds for a total diamond weight of .50 carats. The bezel, the ring shank and undergallery are all 18 karat yellow gold.
I would hold him up to people’s faces and make him say things in an old man voice. He would be my finger Gandalf. Better: my finger Dumbledore. Or maybe this is Merlin’s true fate? How many old wizards can I reference in one post?
