The Brief

A returning client was searching for a pair of earrings that felt luminous and uplifting, something refined enough for everyday wear, yet sculptural and radiant for special occasions. They were drawn to clean lines, architectural geometry, and a subtle sense of movement, without leaning into anything overly traditional or ornate.

The request was clear: create a modern diamond stud that celebrates light, but remains understated, wearable and quietly luxurious.

The Inspiration

The design began with the image of a rising sun, Helios, the Greek personification of daylight.

The fan-like silhouette evokes sun rays cresting the horizon: tapered baguette diamonds arranged in a gentle arc, anchored by a single round brilliant diamond to create balance and centred brilliance.

The name Helios reflects the intention: a piece that feels bright, structured and effortlessly uplifting.

Sculptural, minimal, and full of clarity.

The Design

The Helios Studs are crafted with graduated baguette-cut diamonds, each precisely angled to mirror the natural spread of sunlight.

A single round brilliant diamond sits beneath the fan, adding a point of focus and softening the geometry with subtle warmth.

The form is concise and architectural, a signature silhouette that feels contemporary yet timeless.

Designed to sit neatly on the lobe, they are lightweight, versatile, and proportioned to complement both solo wear and layering with the Helios Petite Studs or matching Helios Necklace.
