great earrings

Totaling over 24 carats, red rubies seem to reflect an inner passion in these earrings from Neetu Barathi. Artisans set the gemstones in polished sterling silver bezels with sterling hooks.

Alok Jain of India says his "...journey into handicrafts has been great, yet the highlight came in 1995, when the Sultan of Brunei placed an order for my designs!" Here, he presents a pair of enthralling dangle earrings. Crafted with rhodium plated sterling silver, these lovely earrings feature prong set oval-shaped blue topaz totaling three and a half carats; each is accentuated by a petite round ruby gem at the top.
