These masterfully crafted 14kt white gold hoop earrings feature alternating brilliant white bezel-set diamonds and deep blue sapphires for a beautifully balanced appearance. The dazzling gemstones give an update to the classic hoop shape. For a slightly different look, these earrings are also available in 14 kt yellow gold.
GORDON'S DESIGN NOTES: "When brainstorming design ideas for earrings with my daughters, the concept of hoop earrings featuring colored gemstones came up. We decided to intermingle blue sapphires and diamonds in a simple, yet elegant balanced design. I was able to locate matched sets of stones that allowed this design to be made in both white and yellow gold." Design inspiration: Ellen.
