Cava amethyst and ruby earrings with diamonds

EDITOR'S REVIEW

The Cava collection - meaning “sunken” in Latin - has now been expanded to include pendants and earrings, such as these 18ct yellow gold studs with a ruby inset on a faceted amethyst base and diamond accents in each corner. With a private client list that includes the Obamas, Demi Moore and Oprah Winfrey, it’s no surprise that the bold fine jewellery designs of Kara Ross have won her legions of fans all over the world. A certified gemmologist who trained at the prestigious GIA, Kara is inspired by gemstones in their raw, organic form and her jewellery often plays with contrasts in colour, size and texture. She began making inset rings, where one stone is layered on top of another, in 2004.
