These earrings will make you want to swing from the chandeliers. They’re full of color and sparkle and so much fun to wear. Pair them with everything from a long boho-styled skirt and bare feet to an elegant cocktail party dress. These earrings will catch the eye of everyone who sees them. Made to look old, these modern reproduction earrings were crafted from a 14-karat yellow gold base that is topped with silver.

The silver itself has oxydized to the most glorious deep dark patina. Resembling chrome illusion paint, shades of purple, blue and even green reflect across the surface of the metal. The darkness of the oxidized silver shows off the diamonds nestled within. Fifty-four round diamonds fill every nook and cranny of these curvaceous beauties. These sparklers offer 1.75 carats of dazzling brilliance.

Dubbed chandelier earrings due to their likeness resembling the popular light fixture, this style features a solid, sturdy top structure with additional sparkling gems dangling from the bottom. Adding a punch of color to these earrings are six briolette cut pink tourmaline gems. The color is like a ripe raspberry – vivid pinkish purple. These six gemstones have a combined weight of approximately 12.00 carats. Articulated at every junction, these earrings dance with every move… they’re spectacular! Add a little magic to your life with these modern beauties… moderately priced at $3,980.00.

Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 20

Some words just sound luxurious… expensive even. Extravagance drips from each syllable. Practically screaming sumptuous grandeur is one of my personal favorites… chandelier. This French term shimmers with lavish opulence. Though originally coined to describe an elaborate candelabra that is suspended from the ceiling, the word chandelier was later used to define a particularly grandiose style of earrings. Simply put, chandelier earrings are characterized by several drops hanging from a singular central point.

Recently acquired, these upscale earrings were created by Santa Fe goldsmith, Luna Felix (peep the signature on the back). She specializes in the ancient art of granulation, an incredibly precise process in which tiny beads of gold are used to create intricate designs. Luna Felix works exclusively in high karat gold; these modern beauties were crafted from a stunning combination of 18 and 22-karat yellow gold. Measuring more than 3.5 inches from top to bottom, these are the very definition of statement earrings.

Reminiscent of banana bunches growing on a tree, these sumptuous chandeliers showcase more than thirty curled leaves in a gloriously three-dimensional array. Dangling throughout the entire bottom half of the earrings are sixty-two cultured pearls. Measuring anywhere from one to nine millimeters, these gems of the sea are well-matched, softening the vibe of the earrings.

Substantial in both look and feel, these earrings are not for the faint of heart. These are not earrings that you’ll put on and forget you’re wearing them. The sheer weight pulls the earlobe down while the pearls brush against the neck. Weighing 44.6 pennyweight (more than two ounces), Luna Felix designed these showstoppers for true jewelry lovers. Bringing new meaning to the phrase “beauty is pain”, these chandelier earrings are priced at $5,750.00 and are the latest edition to our estate department. Add a touch of luxury to your life today.

Glorious Geometric Gleem

Basic black. Often used to represent darkness – it is the complete absorption of light. The symbolic color of authority, it is often worn by judges, magistrates and clergy. For hundreds of years, black has been the characteristic color for funerals and mourning. This was never more apparent than during Victoria’s 40-yearlong bereavement after the death of her soulmate and husband, Albert. Not only did she dawn dark dresses, veils and accessories – she decreed that her subjects must do the same. Even her jewelry reflected the depths of her grief – every piece was made of gold, black enamel and gemstones like onyx like these earrings.

Made from 14-karat yellow gold, the style of these Victorian chandelier earrings is just as relevant today as it was in the late 19th century. A perfectly round bezel set onyx center is wreathed by a series of matching parallelogram-shaped onyx. Each stone is encased within a golden frame. The top edge of the metal features a delicate beaded edge called milgrain. Resembling a starburst or sunflower, this portion of the earring is suspended from softly rounded kidney-shaped wires. A pair of tiny round links have been utilized to attach a small garland to the base of the circular spray. It’s hinged, allowing for ease of movement.

Seven additional lozenge-shaped onyx form the crescent moon-shaped swag. These opaque gems graduate slightly in size, with the largest one in the middle. Small beads of gold are situated between each one, mimicking the design of the top. The final detail is a singular elongated kite-shaped onyx that dangles from the center of the garland. Swaying gently with every turn of your head, these mourning earrings offer face-framing elegance at its finest. User-friendly, these beauties are easy to wear and measure just under two inches from top to bottom. Distinctly Victorian, but perfect for 2023 – these ever-chic earrings are available on our website for just $975.00.
