Description
These diamond-shaped drop earrings are the kind of thing magpies and maximalists fight over. Alternating inlaid sections of black onyx and iridescent abalone shell create a graphic sunburst pattern, set in a silver-tone metal frame. The abalone catches the light in that particular way only abalone can — shifting between green, blue, and gold depending on the angle. No two moments are the same.
