These Edwardian kite shape earrings are a sparkly delight. A small circular frame surrounds the top 4 mm bezel set diamond where the earring post is. An open work kite shape drops down from this and is encrusted with 2mm old European cut diamonds. The kite shape has a central 4mm diamond, this is bezel set with delicate milgrain details around it. From this an open work filigree pattern emerges with more milgrain details creating a lace like effect within the kite.
