The Design
The journey of these earrings begins with a pair of delicate mini hoops, each meticulously pavé-set with a shimmering row of brilliant-cut diamonds along the front. Suspended from each hoop is a beautifully textured Maltese cross motif, featuring a prominent, bezel-set diamond at its center for an extra focal point of light.
