Two slim articulated drops of Art Deco diamond work — milgrain‑edged navette links running down to a geometric marquise cluster at the bottom — that move with you as you turn your head. 1.74 carats of old diamonds across the pair, in white gold.
Here’s the part worth telling: these began as a bracelet. Somewhere along the way, a jeweler saw what the piece could be and turned those original Deco links into earrings — the stones, the setting, the hand‑work all still from the 1920s–30s, given a new shape and a new life. That’s the most ZHIVA thing a piece can be: not scrapped, not forgotten, but carried forward.
The geometry is unmistakably Deco — marquise and round diamonds, clean lines, nothing excess — and the length does what great drop earrings do: elongates the neck, catches light every time you move. Antique diamonds, modern wear.

I worked with Sasha to design a custom engagement ring for my girlfriend. I had no idea where to start, and I was on a time crunch. I didn't know anything about diamonds or jewelry. Sasha was super knowleadgeble, and informative. She guided me through the entire ring making process seemlessly. We sourced a few GIA diamond options, she helped me choose the best diamond for my budget and preferncess. Then she designed a classic solitaire two tone setting, and I was able to approve the CAD and 3D printed model. My girlfriend is over the moon. Thanks God, I trusted Sasha's taste. After engagment we came back for wedding bands! Happy returning customer.
I purchased the most beautiful vintage earrings from Sasha and couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is so professional, fast responses and very knowledgeable. I am a stylist, so having vintage statement earrings with old cut diamonds is absolutely perfect for my collection. Highly recommend working with Sasha and ZHIVA.
I went to Sasha about a year ago with something really special to me - my grandmother’s old gold, along with some new diamonds I wanted to incorporate into pieces I would actually wear and enjoy.
Sasha completely understood the sentimental value behind everything and helped transform those materials into beautiful, modern pieces while still keeping the connection to my family. I love that I can now wear something that carries so much history and meaning, but still feels like me.
The entire process felt thoughtful, personal, and trustworthy. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Sasha to anyone looking to redesign heirloom jewelry or create something truly meaningful.
