For the Fashionable

The 5th C, a Hong Kong-based diamond consultancy and jewelry brand, presents My 5-Ways, a completely customizable pair of diamond earrings. At their core, My 5-Ways are elegant stud earrings. However, with a few simple adjustments, they transform into studs with drops, elegant dangle earrings, or eye-catching chandelier earrings.
In the image shown, the three-petal components at the top can be worn independently as stud earrings, while the pearls can also be worn alone as hook earrings. The petals offer versatility, allowing for pairing with just the triangular shapes or exclusively with the pearls.
“While we’ve created some distinctive pieces previously, My 5-Ways represents a truly groundbreaking achievement from a technical perspective,” explains Jessica Cu, founder of The 5th C.
Each My 5-Ways piece is tailor-made, incorporating the wearer’s preferred gemstones. “My 5-Ways are crafted to order,” states Cu. “You have the freedom to combine stunning brilliant white diamonds, black pearls, vibrant emerald gemstones, and settings in white, yellow, rose, or black gold. The possibilities are limitless, entirely catering to the individual tastes of each client.”
