01 — Design note
“An asymmetric drop-earring study — one bud, one fruit. Movement matters more than size.”
Design studies are concept work: directions we can develop for you, shown as renders rather than delivered pieces.
Concept render — first sketch
Concept render — CAD study
02 — Drawn, measured, revised
How the design settled
- R1Round one balanced the pair by stone size; the swing came out uneven.
- R2Round two rebalanced by weight instead: 0.2 g difference per ear, verified on the scale.
- R3Hand-textured cups catch light without facets.
Concept render — not a completed client commission.
03 — The direction
Illustrative specification
- Metal
- 18k rose gold
- Stones
- Morganite pair, 2.1 ct total (unheated)
- Findings
- Hand-formed hook fittings, nickel-safe alloy
- Weight
- 3.4 g / 3.6 g — balanced for swing
Specifications are illustrative for the study; the final specification is confirmed with you in writing before production. Treatments disclosed where present. Grading reports describe characteristics; they are not valuations.
