Degas Brass and Diamond Starburst Earrings

Ball earrings with single 1pt set diamond. 14k gold fill wires

Part of our 'Diamonds in the Rough' collection, this pair of earrings fuses a very common American industrial material, brass, with the finest of jewels: a diamond.   The raw, recycled brass of these spheres has been polished to shine like gold. We set each diamond at the center of a single, hand engraved starburst--a detail adopted from classic Victorian jewelry bringing a fine flourish to a traditionally humble material.  Over time these earring pendants will slowly oxidize to a rich brass patina which beautifully offsets the diamonds.
