Diamond chandelier earrings were originally designed in the eighteenth century to reflect the candlelight from chandeliers. The antique shapes would radiate little beams of light onto a woman’s face throughout the evening. Can you just imagine what a light show these 9-carat diamond and yellow sapphire stunners would bring to an atmospheric event today? Pure fireworks.
