1.60 Sapphire Drop Earrings 18k Yellow Gold

These modern drop earrings are made from 18 karat yellow gold with a black rhodium finish that creates a two-tone effect. Each earring features a round cut blue sapphire in a collet setting, with the pair totaling 1.60 carats.

The round cut maximizes the sapphires' deep blue color by reflecting light evenly across the stone's surface. Blue sapphires in this carat weight range have substantial presence without being overly large. The black rhodium finish on portions of the gold creates a dark contrast that makes the blue sapphires appear even more vibrant.

Lever backs provide secure closure and are comfortable for extended wear. The collet setting holds each sapphire while allowing light to reach the stone from the sides, which brings out the gem's transparency and color depth.
