0.36 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Sapphire and Natural Diamond Halo Earrings, 14K White Gold

These stud earrings showcase eight round mixed brilliant cut blue sapphires, totaling 0.36 carats, and a halo of 28 round brilliant cut natural diamonds, totaling 0.19 carats, all set in 14K white gold. The mixed brilliant cut on the sapphires is purposeful, combining a brilliant faceted crown that returns light with a modified pavilion that concentrates color, so each small round stone holds intense, dark blue saturation while still offering lively scintillation. In earring form, the mixed brilliant cut amplifies the sapphires brightness by directing incoming light back through the crown facets and into the eye, creating flashes that contrast with the stones deeper body color, and the slight inclusions indicated by the slightly included clarity grade do not compromise the overall sparkle. The surrounding round brilliant diamonds, graded Included in clarity and K in color, are cut to maximize fire and scintillation, their numerous crown and pavilion facets breaking light into lively sparkle that plays around the sapphires. Placed as a halo, those diamonds reflect and refract light into the center cluster, enhancing the perceived brightness of the sapphires and giving the earrings a larger, more radiant appearance than the weight alone might suggest.

The 14K white gold setting serves both aesthetic and functional roles, its cool reflective surface enhancing the rich blue of the sapphires while subtly muting the warm tint of K color diamonds so their brilliance reads white to the eye from typical viewing distances. The design, where four blue sapphires form a floral cluster within a cushionlike halo of diamonds, uses the interplay of cuts to create depth and motion, the mixed brilliant sapphires holding saturated color at the heart, and the brilliant cut diamonds supplying constant, lively sparkle around them. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we balance gem cutting, clarity characteristics, and metal choice to let each element perform its role, and these earrings are a clear example of that craft. They are designed to catch light whether worn day or night, offering focused, deep blue centers framed by dazzling white sparkle, and they present an elegant, wearable expression of how thoughtful cutting and setting can amplify brilliance in a compact earring form.
