Each sapphire is a deep inky blue, prong set and ringed by a full halo of twelve round diamonds in raised individual settings that leave the outline pointed rather than smooth. Below the halo the earring sweeps into an open J, and that curve carries two parallel channels of three baguette diamonds each, separated and framed by polished gold ribs so the stones read as two bright bands against three lines of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing baguettes in the drop rather than more rounds is the decision that gives these their character. A round diamond scatters light into fine sparkle from every angle, while a baguette is step cut, with long flat facets in parallel rows, and it returns light in broad clean flashes instead. Set end to end in a channel they read as a continuous ribbon of light rather than a row of separate points, which means the lower half of the earring moves as one bright sweep while the halo above it glitters. Two completely different optical behaviors in one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey fasten with posts and silicone backs, so they secure like a stud while the J curve hangs and moves below the lobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerifications:\u003cbr\u003eSolid 10K gold has been verified using an Auracle Gold Analyzer.\u003cbr\u003eDiamonds have been verified using a Presidium Adamas Diamond Tester, which specifically distinguishes diamonds from moissanite.\u003cbr\u003eBlue sapphire has been verified using a Presidium Gem Tester II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eMaker's Mark: ADL\u003cbr\u003eMetal: Solid 10K Yellow Gold\u003cbr\u003eHallmarks: 10K, ADL\u003cbr\u003eCenter Stones: Blue Sapphire\u003cbr\u003eCenter Stone Cut: Oval\u003cbr\u003eCenter Stone Setting: Prong\u003cbr\u003eHalo Stones: Round Diamond, 12 per earring, 24 total\u003cbr\u003eDrop Stones: Baguette Diamond, 3 per channel, 6 per earring, 12 total\u003cbr\u003eDrop Setting: Channel\u003cbr\u003eTotal Diamond Count: 18 per earring, 36 total\u003cbr\u003eEarring Style: J Hoop Drop\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Post with silicone backs\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent estate condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun Facts:\u003cbr\u003eBlue sapphire needs two different elements cooperating to produce its color, which is unusual. Iron alone in corundum gives a pale yellow and titanium alone gives nothing at all, but when an iron atom and a titanium atom sit next to each other in the crystal, an electron can jump between them. That jump absorbs light from the yellow and red end of the spectrum, and what passes through is blue. The deeper the blue, the more of those paired atoms are sitting in the stone.\u003cbr\u003eThe baguette is named after bread, and it exists because of architecture. Baguette is French for rod or stick, describing the long narrow outline, and the cut rose to prominence in the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s when jewelry design turned sharply geometric and designers needed stones with straight edges that could be set shoulder to shoulder in unbroken lines. A round brilliant cannot do that. The baguette can, which is why a century later it is still the cut of choice whenever a design calls for a continuous band of diamond rather than scattered points of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ADL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67859051282797,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/8272\/0109\/files\/ADL_Solid_10K_Yellow_Gold_J_Hoop_Drop_Earrings_with_Oval_Blue_Sapphire_Centers_Twelve_Stone_Diamond_Halos_and_Channel_Set_Baguette_Diamond_Drops.jpg?v=1793506149","url":"https:\/\/silverqueenstudio.com\/products\/adl-solid-10k-yellow-gold-oval-blue-sapphire-diamond-halo-j-hoop-drop-earrings","provider":"Silver Queen Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
