So you have your diamond studs, pearl studs, a couple of drop earrings, maybe some over the top shoulder dusters … what now? (And if you don’t have at least some of those, what are you waiting for?)

Well, you go back to the classics and twist the shapes a bit and you get a fun and funky pair of diamond earrings like these by Elisa Solomon. Available exclusively at Williamsburg, NY’s Catbird (but fortunately for all of us, you can buy them online here), these Ancienne earrings take the round shape and the solitaire diamond and tweak it. The shape is skewed, and the centre stone is a rose cut, surrounded by diamond melee.  Set in 18k yellow gold, these look as though you can see the hand of the jeweller on them. Available for USD $1,228.
