These modern drop earrings 'by Filigree' feature 4.52 carat cushion-cut blue sapphires set in 14 karat yellow gold, with round brilliant cut diamonds totaling .75 carats studding the posts. Four-prong basket settings hold both the sapphires and diamonds. The cushion cut gives the sapphires rounded corners with larger facets that show off their deep blue color. Diamonds on the posts add sparkle above the substantial blue sapphire drops, creating contrast between the clear stones and the rich blue gems below.
