Round Brilliant Diamond Cluster Stud Earring

This item is an individual cluster-style stud earring, likely crafted from 14k or 18k white gold or platinum, though the metal hallmark is not visible in the provided image. The earring features a floral or 'snowflake' arrangement consisting of seven round brilliant-cut diamonds. A central diamond is surrounded by a halo of six slightly smaller round diamonds, all secured in a shared-prong setting that minimizes the appearance of metal between the stones to maximize light return. The stones appear to be near-colorless with a high level of brilliance, suggesting a quality range of G-H color and SI1-SI2 clarity, though a physical loupe inspection would be required for confirmation. The construction utilizes a classic post-back design. The overall diameter of the cluster is approximately 5mm to 6mm, fitting the scale of a standard everyday luxury accessory. There are no visible chips to the stones or significant deformations in the metal prongs, indicating the piece has been well-maintained. The style is contemporary yet classic, likely manufactured within the last 20 years. The craftsmanship appears precise, with symmetrical alignment of the outer stones around the center point.
