Pear Aquamarine and Diamond Ear Climbers in 18k White Gold, 6.93 ct

18k white gold · 26 pear-cut aquamarines, 6.93 ct total · 22 diamonds, 0.27 ct total weight

Twenty-six pear-cut aquamarines, 6.93 carats across the pair, set as climbers that follow the ear upward from the lobe. The pears are graduated so the line tapers as it rises, and 22 diamonds totaling 0.27 carats run alongside them. White gold keeps the setting cool, which lets the aquamarine stay blue instead of picking up the green cast that warm metal tends to throw into it.

Aquamarine is beryl, the same mineral family as emerald, but it crystallizes far cleaner. That is why stones this size can be eye-clean at a price an emerald of equal weight would never reach. It sits at 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for regular wear, and nearly all commercial aquamarine is heat-treated to settle its color into pure blue. The treatment is stable, permanent, and standard across the trade.
