Ellipsis
A pair of convertible earrings. Each side is a 0.25-carat martini-set lab diamond (DEF color, VS clarity) paired with a 4mm pearl jacket — and each jacket can sit at three different heights on the post, so the same pair reads as a close stud, a slight drop, or a longer drop depending on the day. All 14k yellow gold, flat backs. Two stones on each ear; three ways to wear them.
