atural Blue Sapphire Heart & 40 Natural Diamond Drop Earrings 18 kt Yellow Gold & Sterling Silver 925 | Individually Handcrafted in Italy | Perna Laboratorio Orafo Description An elegant pair of individually handcrafted Italian drop earrings featuring two beautiful heart-shaped natural blue sapphires, surrounded by 40 natural diamonds and enhanced by the sophisticated contrast of solid 18 kt yellow gold and sterling silver 925. Created by Perna Laboratorio Orafo, an independent artisan goldsmith's workshop located in Torre del Greco, Italy, these distinctive earrings reflect traditional Italian jewellery craftsmanship, careful attention to precious materials and the timeless symbolism of the heart. Each earring features a highly polished, domed sterling silver stud from which an elegant heart-shaped gemstone pendant is suspended through an articulated connection. At the centre of each pendant is a natural blue sapphire, fashioned into a faceted heart measuring approximately 6 × 6 mm. The gemstones display attractive deep blue tones, enhanced by their faceted surfaces and beautifully complemented by warm yellow gold settings. Both sapphires are natural and have undergone thermal diffusion treatment, expressly disclosed in this description. Surrounding the central gemstones are 40 natural round diamonds in total, 20 per earring, each measuring approximately 1.20 mm in diameter. The estimated combined diamond weight is approximately 0.30 carats. The diamonds follow the heart-shaped outlines of the sapphires, creating a luminous decorative halo that enhances the overall design. The polished silver studs, articulated construction and contrasting precious-metal elements complete the composition. The combination of deep blue sapphires, natural diamonds, solid yellow gold and sterling silver creates a distinctive jewel with romantic elegance and traditional Italian character. An appealing individually handcrafted creation for collectors and admirers of Italian artisan jewellery and coloured gemstones.

Each gemstone measures approximately 6 × 6 mm. As the sapphires remain mounted and their individual depths have not been accurately measured, their exact carat weights cannot be reliably determined from the available dimensions alone. No unverified individual carat weights or laboratory quality grades are claimed. Gemstone Treatment Disclosure Both central sapphires are natural gemstones that have undergone thermal diffusion treatment. This treatment is expressly disclosed for complete transparency. Thermal diffusion treatment is distinct from conventional heat-only treatment. The sapphires are not described as untreated or merely heat-treated. The precise diffusion technique and depth of colour penetration have not been independently established. No specific geographical origin or independent gemmological certification is claimed.

The diamonds remain mounted and have not been individually removed and weighed. Their actual combined weight may vary according to their individual cutting proportions and depth. The stated combined diamond weight of approximately 0.30 ct is a dimensional estimate and not a laboratory-certified measurement. No unverified diamond colour, clarity or cut grades are claimed. Traditional Italian Artisanal Craftsmanship These earrings were individually created by Perna Laboratorio Orafo, an independent artisan goldsmith's workshop based in Torre del Greco, Italy. The design combines the luminosity of sterling silver 925 with the warmth and elegance of solid 18 kt yellow gold. Each earring features a polished domed stud connected to a suspended heart-shaped pendant. The central sapphire is secured within a carefully constructed gold setting, while the surrounding natural diamonds follow the heart-shaped silhouette, forming a decorative halo. The articulated connection allows the pendant to move naturally when worn, introducing lightness and movement to the design. The contrast between the polished silver surfaces, warm yellow gold settings, brilliant diamonds and deep blue gemstones creates a balanced and elegant composition. The earrings reflect traditional Italian goldsmithing, with attention to gemstone setting, precious-metal construction, proportions and finishing. Their individually handcrafted character distinguishes them from conventional mass-produced jewellery. Precious Metals and Weight The earrings combine two precious metals: Sterling Silver 925 Used for the polished domed studs and the silver components of the pendant settings. Solid 18 kt Yellow Gold (750/1000) Used for the yellow gold components surrounding the central sapphires. Precious-metal and total weights: - Approximate total 18 kt yellow gold weight: 1.00–1.20 g - Silver weight: Not separately determined - Approximate complete pair weight: 4.50–4.80 g, including all mounted gemstones The stated gold weight refers exclusively to the solid 18 kt gold components. The total weight includes the precious metals and all mounted gemstones. The earrings are expressly described as a combination of sterling silver 925 and solid 18 kt yellow gold, not as jewellery manufactured entirely from gold.
