As gold prices rose (and when prices didn’t decline as the cost per ounce of the ore dropped) a lot of jewellers turned to silver and base metals for their designs. This pair of earrings from Max and Chloe, designed in the shape of a peacock feature, are sterling silver and are set with a half  carat total of diamonds. They are substantial, at 3-1/4 inches long and 1 inch wide.

They sell for USD$750.
