Rough and refined! Black diamonds and white gold are not necessarily a black tie affair! These drop earrings can be worn casually, even though they sport a large, over one carat diamond in each earring for a total weight of 2.42 carats. The diamonds are rose cut, which is unusual. We have set them in handmade, 18k white gold frames that are intricately hand engraved. Black diamonds are thought to represent power and charisma. Couldn't hurt!
