Black & Inverted White Diamond Stud Earrings – “Nightpoint”

A pair of white and black diamonds creates the striking contrast in these petite earrings by Todd Pownell. The white diamond is set upside down, exposing its pointed pavilion and giving the stone an unexpected, edgy presence. Below it, a black diamond is set in the traditional orientation within textured white gold. Small touches of 18K yellow gold frame the white diamonds and add a warm hit of contrast.

The combination of the two colors gives these diamond earrings their distinctive look. The bright, inverted white diamond catches the light from its exposed facets, while the dark black diamond provides a deeper, more subdued counterpoint. Together, they create a layered design perfect for daily wear. 

Known for his inventive use of inverted diamonds and darkened metals, Todd Pownell brings a distinctly unconventional approach to fine jewelry. These earrings are a great example of how he takes familiar materials and settings and gives them a completely different feel.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the earrings in person?
Diamond brilliance and the contrast between the two-tone white gold and yellow gold can read differently depending on the light, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the earrings you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.

What is an inverted diamond?
An inverted diamond is positioned with its pavilion, or pointed underside, facing outward rather than displaying the traditional face-up view. Here, that orientation creates the earrings' angular, sculptural profile.

How do the earrings fasten?
They feature 18K yellow gold friction posts with coordinating friction backs.
