Catalogue Essay
This pair of diamond earrings is inspired by the legendary Moonlight Sonata, a piece Beethoven composed in tribute to his beloved. Five lines of round brilliant diamonds are suspended from a cluster of four diamonds at the ear. Each graduated row is punctuated by larger prong-set diamonds, like notes on a musical score.
