The top part of the earring is a sphere completely paved in small diamonds, so it glitters from every angle. It sits right on the lobe, with the dark pearl hanging just below, giving the whole piece a bit of movement.

You're looking at a pair of drop earrings. Each one starts with a small sphere covered in pavé-set diamonds, which connects to the 18k white gold post. Hanging from that sphere is a single, dark freshwater pearl. The pearls are nearly round, with a deep purple-black colour and a smooth, high-lustre surface that reflects light in soft, distorted shapes. The earring backs are a combination of metal and a clear plastic disc for extra security.

The posts and settings are made from 18k solid gold, which means they're 75% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength. This makes them durable enough for regular wear and very unlikely to cause irritation for sensitive skin. We use natural diamonds, each one hand-set into the pavé ball to create that glittering, continuous surface. The drop is a real freshwater pearl, chosen for its dark colour and lustre. Because they're natural, each pearl will have its own unique overtones.

These are a modern take on the classic pearl drop. The pavé diamond ball adds a lot of texture and sparkle that you don't get with a simple metal cap. It makes them feel more substantial and formal, but they're still small enough not to feel heavy on the ear.
