I've saved my finer, faceted and delicate pairs of gems for this collection. There are now three different stud shapes -- the Grapes, the Midolline (named after the wee pasta of this same shape) and Chopsticks -- as well as the brand new 3/4 Hoops and the even newer J Stroke gem studs -- on to which these drops can be attached. Important: if you don't care for the stud shown in the picture but you like the drops, they can go on any of these five earrings. Contact Disegno for details.
In all cases, the studs or hoops can be worn alone and the drops removed. I've used the same system on all the studs to hang the drops and a slightly different one for the hoops (that will require a slight modification on our part, please allow two weeks for delivery). See additional pictures of Flat Black and the (plain) Grape and Midolline Studs showing how the drops are hung on the studs. See Sorbet and Bank On It for side views of the 3/4 Hoops.
All earrings are available in 18k gold or in platinum. If you're considering the Midolline in gold, we find it very elegant and understated with a brushed finished. Drops are in the metals indicated. Already have a pair of these studs or hoops? Then simply buy a new pair of drops -- contact Disegno for pricing.
As well, have a favourite gem you'd love to see hanging on these studs/hoops? Happy to create them for you. Disegno keeps in stock a wide range of beautiful natural gems in a wide range of colours. See The Gem Vault for some current examples. Diamonds, including Canadian, are also available. All prices are in $Canadian.
