About this piece

A striking pair of contemporary drop earrings combining textured sterling silver with semi-precious stones. Each features a polished turquoise-blue larimar cabochon, bezel-set and backed with a blackened silver collet, suspended beneath a stacked arrangement of a ribbed silver disc and a smooth black onyx bead. The composition creates an agreeable visual weight and movement.

The earrings hang from elongated silver hooks — substantial and secure. Silver shows expected patina and minor surface wear consistent with regular wear; the stones are unblemished, their finish smooth. Larimar, a rare semi-precious stone found only in the Dominican Republic, displays its characteristic sky-blue hue with subtle white veining. These work equally well as everyday pieces or statement jewellery, and their moderate drop suits most ear shapes and face widths. A simple soft cloth is all that’s needed to maintain shine.
