COLORED SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND HOOP EAR CLIPS

These magnificent earrings by the Paris-based jeweler JAR are designed to catch the limelight. Each of the square-shaped purple sapphires, together with the pink sapphire and diamond border, face forward—whether on the front part of the hoop or the inner rim of the rear. It’s a maximalist design in glittering pastels, with a sizable two-inch drop. Equally beautiful is the view from behind, the tidy armature of gold and silver laid bare like the backstage of the theater.
