One of a kind, 18K royal yellow gold and platinum earrings with 7.25ctw Mozambique garnets and .42ctw rose-cut diamonds (VS1-2, g/h color). Garnets are concave-faceted on the back to give the appearance of internal bubbles. Earrings are hinged at the top and bottom that allow for movement. Total length is 1.25" in.
These earrings are named in honor of Hattie Carnegie, a Hungarian immigrant who came to Manhattan as a young girl. In 1909, she began her entrepreneurial career in the hat-making business. Within 20 years, she grew her business to 3.5 million dollars a year. She is also credited with discovering a number of prominent 20th-century fashion designers.
