These adornments are characterized by a precious metal alloy composed of 92.5% silver combined with other metals, typically copper, to enhance durability, and feature small, brilliant-cut stones set as the primary focal point. The design is simple, with the gemstone mounted directly onto a post that passes through the earlobe and is secured by a backing. This classic jewelry piece provides a refined and understated aesthetic suitable for diverse occasions.
Their value stems from the inherent properties of their constituent materials the luster and malleability of the silver, the brilliance and hardness of the diamonds. Historically, such pairings have represented a balance between accessibility and luxury, offering a touch of sophistication without the extravagance of solid precious metal designs. The relatively low cost, coupled with their enduring style, has contributed to their widespread popularity.
