Solange Azagury-Partridge 'Ballcrusher' earrings

Solange Azagury-Partridge 'Ballcrusher' earrings, $12800 at Net-A-Porter.

My son loves heavy equipment toys... from backhoes to cement mixers... he's got everything in his toy chest. He sometimes pretend to be an engineer or a builder like Bob. When I saw these 'Ballcrusher' earrings, I immediately thought of his fondness to construction machines and it made me realize he doesn't have a ballcrusher yet. He has not yet seen how a ballcrusher works and I think he'll go nuts when he sees one.

These earrings are made of 18k gold with yellow sapphire and pearls as "balls" anchored by enamel coated "claws".

Solange Azagury-Partridge 'Real Fake' emerald earrings

I like the name of these Solange Azagury-Partridge emerald drop earrings as much as I like how it looks.  How can something be so real and be so fake?  

These are made of 18-k gold with emerald drops and green plique-a-jour.  I had to look for the meaning of plique-a-jour because I am not French.  It simply means stained glass effect.  Whatever.  I really like love these earrings.  Too bad it will cause me to file for bankruptcy, so I will just be contented at looking at its magnificence. 

This is $7,800 at Net-A-Porter.
