Anyone who appreciates the aesthetics of clear, reduced forms will find it hard to look past the sphere. These platinum earrings feature four opals cut into hemispheres: two larger stones of 11.8 mm diameter and 9 ct, and two smaller ones of 8.9 mm diameter and 3.5 ct. The spherical form of the opals is fully preserved within the platinum setting, allowing light to travel undisturbed across the surface. Fine chains connect the lower opals to the upper studs, forming a calm, vertical line. The two-part platinum settings enclose the stones precisely, letting them appear almost unset when viewed from the front. The minimalist, reduced design emphasizes the clear form of the gemstones and gives the earrings a distinctive elegance. The opal studs can also be worn on their own as simple studs; the chains with the larger opals can be attached from the back of the earlobe.
