Good morning, my dears! Did you notice I’ve been switching up the schedule a little bit? Don’t worry – I still have plenty of lovelies to share with you. I just needed to move things around a little because of all of the traveling I’ve been doing (and to make time for my new gig writing for Instore Magazine).
Today I have something fresh and glorious for you: five pairs of earrings by modern master-jeweler, Viren Bhagat.
I love Bhagat’s work because not only does it always feature raw materials of exceptional quality worked with great technical ability, it also always leaves me feeling like I’ve just seen something that had never before occurred to me. It feels so new and fresh and right.
Showing you a single example will make my point better than any amount of words can.
See what I mean? These Bhagat earrings are magnificent. Spectacular and celestial, they burst forth from their respective center stones with complementary, asymmetric perfection. Natural pearls with white and yellow diamonds.
Here’s what they look like worn, thanks to FD Gallery’s Instagram. Pretty amazing.
Another diamond and pearl pair of Bhagat earrings. So unique and slightly odd and yet absolutely perfect. Like the world’s most elegant snails.
These beauties might be my personal favorite pair of Bhagat earrings – which I’m sure you’ll find understandable. They are my favorite color, after all. And so, so, so lovely. I went straight for the FD Gallery Instagram shot this time, because they come to life on this lucky ear more than they do in the product photo.
That’s 23.98 carats of old European and briolette-cut diamonds and 14.39 cararts of pink spinel.
What about two perfect blossoms made of impossibly vivid yellow diamonds? No problem.
Next, please feast your eyes upon this specimen of rose-cut diamond magnificence. Another one where I had to go straight to the Insta shot (again, via FD Gallery).
The only downside to these Bhagat earrings is that you’d have to stay near a mirror all day or you’d miss on their beauty while they were on your own ears.
Another look, because I adore them helplessly.
And last, but far from least, I’m thrilled to show you this truly wonderful pair of emerald, pearl, and diamond earrings. As much as I love every pair here, if you put a gun to my head and made me choose (and also footed the bill) I would choose these.
Who else out there swoons for these Viren Bhagat earrings? Do you have a favorite pair? Did I include them here?
All five+ pairs (yes, I did give you a bonus pair) of these Bhagat earrings are currently for sale or were sold by FD Gallery. All images and info are thanks to FD Gallery.

Earring designs were very impressive in this article
These are beautiful, you really can’t go past a stunning pair of pearl earrings!
A fantastic collection of earrings!
I love the pair that looks like hoops. So magnificent!
Those are pretty hard to resist.
Swoon! Pearl, rose cut and briolette diamond lusciousness, sometimes all together in one piece!
I haven’t looked at FD Gallery yet so can’t pick out a favorite pair, but of those you’ve shown above, I like the pearl “snail” earrings. They remind me of the classic Buccellati shell earrings, though those are clip-style and sit on the earlobe. This pair is more like hoop earrings. And I’d have the brown and gold pearls switched out for grey – I look terrible in browns and golds, though I can do taupes. Heck, I don’t even know if this style would look good on me; there’s a lot going on in the front but just the clip in the back. But I’d take them anyway; I really really like the design. I’ll look at the Gallery to see if there are photos of them being worn.
I like the fifth pair as well, the pair with rosecut diamonds and pearls. And the design does continue completely around and to the back of the earlobe. I always wear my hair up, so this is a “thing” with me.
The emerald drop earrings are beautiful as well. I love the dangling briolette diamonds around the emeralds, a precious beaded curtain allowing a glimpse of the even more precious gem. Perfect!
Congratulations on your new writing gig, Becky!
Hi Becky,
The “sun and moon” (or night and day) pair made me covetous. Congrats in this new gig…
