The details
Elongated 18kt gold drop earrings topped with lab-grown diamonds in Georgian button-back settings. Vintage-inspired, ethically made by De La Paix.
The button back technique—a traditional way of backing a diamond in a case of gold for added depth and refraction—tops each of these earrings, and the elongated gold drop below is a Victorian form, cast in one smooth taper so the whole length of it moves as the head turns. The round brilliant sits in blackened 18 karat white gold and hands the eye down the polished yellow gold baton. Long, light and quietly theatrical.

The craft
Each stone is backed in a case of blackened gold — a Georgian technique that deepens the stone and lends it the soft glow of candlelight.
Discover BoutonQuestions
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds. We select ours at D–G colour, VS2+ clarity and Ideal cut, and certified stones can be requested.
Can I choose a different carat weight or metal?
We can custom make anything to almost any size. If you see something you like but don’t see the carat weight you desire, reach out to bespoke@shopdelapaix.com and we will provide you with an estimate.
How long will my earrings take to arrive?
Most orders take 2–3 weeks to arrive, but some items may take longer. All items ship free with FedEx 2Day in the US.
Do you make bespoke pieces?
Yes. We can change the stone, carat weight or gold, reset natural diamonds from a vintage piece, or create something new. Write to bespoke@shopdelapaix.com.
