Graff Pave Butterfly Diamond Mini Stud Earrings 18k White Gold

Two butterflies. Barely there. Each one is four marquise-shaped wings of 18k white gold meeting at a tiny center bar, and every wing is pave-set — three round diamonds in each upper wing, two in each lower. Ten stones per ear, 0.08 carats for the pair. The gold border around each wing is kept as thin as the setting allows, so from a foot away you don’t see metal. You see the outline of a butterfly drawn in light. The wings aren’t flat. They angle up and slightly back from the center, the way a butterfly holds them at rest, and that lift is what makes such a small stud catch anything at all. Look at the back: the gallery under each wing is open and the center post is set into a solid pin with a flat, lobed friction back. Graff’s own, signed. They measure roughly 0.28 by 0.20 inches. Small enough for a second piercing. Fine enough for a first.
