Pair of Emerald and Diamond Pendent Ear Clips,| Each Suspending a Step-cut Emerald Weighing 12.99 and 11.87 Carats, to T

Stones of this magnitude make their own case. The step-cut emeralds suspended in these pendent ear clips weigh 12.99 and 11.87 carats, a pairing of exceptional and genuinely rare proportion, and they are the unmistakable reason for the piece, the kind of stones that draw the eye the instant the wearer enters a room. Step cutting suits emeralds of such size supremely well; its long, calm facets open a clear window into the gem, showing the saturated green to its fullest depth and letting the eye travel into the stone rather than skate across it, the colour seeming to deepen the longer one looks. Above each emerald, a surmount of brilliant-cut diamonds gathers light and lifts the design, providing a bright crown, while marquise diamonds extend its lines with their elegant pointed form, framing the green without ever competing with it. The dual setting of platinum and 18-karat white gold provides both the security such important stones demand and a cool, luminous backdrop that lets the emeralds command full attention, the white metals receding so the colour can lead. Emeralds at this weight, matched as a pair and of fine colour, occupy the rarest tier of coloured-stone jewellery; pieces such as this are as much an enduring store of value as they are an adornment, sought by those who understand exactly what they are looking at and what it represents. These are earrings for the most significant of occasions, worn by someone content to be remembered for them, and they will pass onward as a true centrepiece of any collection, their importance undimmed by time and their colour as commanding to a future generation as to the present one. Each emerald and diamond has been scrutinised under our own most exacting standard, and independent certification is available on request to confirm the substantial carat weights, the colour and the integrity of the setting, so that stones of this consequence are documented to the fullest. Presented by Legacy Diamonds and Gemstones, this pair stands among the most important of our high-jewellery earrings, a piece we reserve for the most discerning of eyes. A jewel of this stature deserves to be seen, considered and understood at leisure, with our discreet guidance offered throughout and never a moment of pressure. When you are ready, we invite you to the Negotiation Room for a wholly private conversation, conducted with the discretion such a piece warrants.
