Mixed-Cut Architectural Design: A sophisticated combination of a large focal Marquise-cut stone anchored by a radiant cluster of round Chaton "petals."
Architectural "Puddle-Cast" Construction: A solid, heavy-gauge gold-tone base engineered for structural integrity and to protect stone reflectivity.
Precision Multi-Prong Setting: Every stone is individually secured with hand-crimped gold-tone prongs, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Floral Shield Silhouette: An elegant, asymmetrical botanical design that provides a bold, light-catching profile on the ear.
Mechanical Integrity: Reliable high-tension clip-on backs with a "Survivor" spring mechanism that remains secure and flush.

Measurements:
Weight: 8g (Solid-Cast Estate Feel)
