Carrera y Carrera Solid 18K Yellow Gold & 14mm Pearl 0.75" Nymph Earrings W/VVS Diamond Accents in Carrera y Carrera Gift Box (Retired Piece) - These stunning earrings were finely crafted of solid 18k yellow gold, by the master artisans at renowned luxury jeweler Carrera y Carrera. The earrings measure approx. 0.75" long and each are set with a 14mm genuine pearl. The pearls have a stunning, irridescent luster, and are being "hugged" by a sculpted nymph detail. The piece shows stunning attention to detail, and you can almost see the fluid movement of the nymph's body and hair draping over the pearl. The nymph is finished with a matte finish which stands out beautifully against the highly polished finish of the earrings and the nymph's hair. The designer's use of both matte and polished finishes truly shows the spectacular craftsmanship that is synonymous with this fine luxury brand. The earrings are finished with approx. 0.12ctw genuine VVS1-VVS2/F-G diamond accents, which are fiery white and finish the earrings beautifully. The earrings are signed with the Carrera y Carrera hallmark, gold purity, and unique serial number. This is a rare, retired piece which is no longer in production and extremely hard to find. Carrera y Carrera is an icon of gold craftsmanship and jewelry artisanship, and creates each piece in its workshops as if it were a small work of art. Each piece is meticulously crafted, in a series of labor intensive steps. The piece is first sketched by the designer, and is then sculpted by the hands of expert modelers, from a block of hard wax, and then the master prototype is created once it has reached the optimal design. The piece is then transformed into gold using the traditional lost wax casting method, and is then finished by master jewelers who painstakingly choose the gems and set them into the piece. The final touch, and Carrera y Carrera's trademark, is the matte-gloss finish, which allows a greater appreciation of the details of these small sculptures. Carrera y Carrera has a long history of celebrity clientele, including Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Olivia Wilde, and many others. These earrings are in beautiful condition, and look as though they have hardly been worn. They have secure, omega backs for added security while wearing. The earrings will come housed in a Carrera y Carrera gift box. (WEIGHT: 13.5 grams)
