A large deep blue teardrop sits at the centre, smooth and unfaceted, framed by a close ring of clear kundan and surrounded by a wider border of blue petal shaped stones, each in its own raised gold setting.
Available in 3 colours: Yellow, Pink and Blue. The colour refers to the centre stone and the petal border.
Returning to the same blue in the outer border, after a ring of clear stones, is what makes this design hold together. The clear band separates the two blues so they read as distinct elements rather than one large blob of colour, while the repetition ties the whole earring into a single object.
Setting the teardrop on its side rather than pointing down is the other good decision. It widens the earring and makes it sit comfortably in a circular outline, where a vertical teardrop would have fought the round border.
A smooth cabochon, polished rather than cut, so it holds a deep even blue and catches a single soft highlight along its curve. Against the sparkle of the kundan ring, that calm surface is what draws the eye.
Long pointed stones radiating outward, each individually set. Because they are shaped rather than round, the outer edge of the earring is scalloped rather than smooth, which gives the circle a decorative outline without adding anything extra.
Post fitting, flat against the lobe, nothing hanging. Large enough to be a statement but entirely practical for a full day.
Blue and gold works against cream, ivory, mustard, grey and blue silks alike. Because they are flat and wide, they suit a high neckline and pair comfortably with a necklace. Hair up or down both work.
A faceted stone is cut with flat planes to bounce light around inside it, producing sparkle; a cabochon is simply polished into a dome, so light reflects off the surface as a single soft highlight and the colour reads deeply and evenly. Older Indian jewellery leans heavily on cabochons, which is partly why it looks antique rather than glittery. In a piece that already has clear stones providing the sparkle, a cabochon centre is almost always the better choice.
A final note on scale. Wide flat studs suit people who want presence without length, and they are particularly good if you wear your hair down most of the time, since nothing is hidden below the jaw. They also sit comfortably under a phone, which sounds trivial until you have spent an evening taking a long earring off to answer calls.
Keep them in a zip lock pouch so the stones are not scratched. Put them on after perfume and hairspray, and keep them away from water.
