Small But Mighty
Though these earrings contain 404 diamonds between them, the smaller size of stone and overall carat weight helps keep the price accessible. “These earrings have a ton of diamonds for the price!” says Fallon. “They’re super fun, wearable, and give the client a statement piece.”

Quality Over Quantity
Besides their considerable size, all four primary stones in these drop earrings are GIA-certified VVS in clarity, which Fallon notes “is considered very high quality.” The nearly flawless diamonds command a higher price.
Matchy Matchy
Finding stones that mirror each other exactly requires time and skill. “Matching four emerald-cut diamonds varying in size is an artform in itself,” says Fallon.
Get Crafty
Creating fine jewelry requires a great deal of time, skill, and craftmanship—all of which is reflective in the price tag. The Bachendorf’s team maps each original design to the millimeter, then sends it to a casting house where a casting is created specifically to suit the selected stones. Finally, Fallon says, “One of our master jewelers sets each stone one by one, making sure each prong is securely attached to the stone.”

Size Matters
Simply put, the size and overall weight of the diamonds is the major price driver here. Compared to the feather set, which boasts a total weight of 2.83 carats, Fallon says, “This set has 28 pear-shaped diamonds weighing 13.27 carat total weight and 14 marquise shaped diamonds weighing 3.42 total weight,” for a total of nearly 17 carats.
