You’ve seen what Margherita Burgener can do with a brooch. Now it’s time to see what she can do with earrings.
These earrings could have been cartoonish, but they’re so elegantly made that they retain their dignity, which is no small accomplishment for a piece with this many stars. Each earring is boasts a surmount composed of a series of star motifs of various sizes, pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Each surmount suspends a faceted amethyst drop with a brilliant-cut diamond set cap. They’re whimsical but still beautiful.
These earrings also have foliate-inspired surmounts, although they’re chunkier and less literal than the surmounts on the first pair. Each surmount on these suspends a pear-shaped aquamarine within a border of brilliant-cut diamonds. And, because it’s fun, some dresses to go with these.
The pendant is signed for Trabert & Hoeffer, Inc and Mauboussin, while the chain, which was added later, is signed by Cartier. No wonder this thing is gorgeous, with all of those big names working on it.
