Noctes Epheso II - Black Freshwater Pearl and Black Onyx Drops

Artisan Jewelry : Earrings

 

Nights in Ephesus - the crown jewel in the region known as Asia Minor, this gorgeous and politically important city was left to Rome in the will of King Attalus...a truly multicultural place, Ephesus carried the traditions of the Greeks, the Persians, the Syrians and later the Romans in her core. These earrings evoke the splendour of such ancient cross-roads. The main elements in these earrings are black freshwater pearls and black onyx. The pearls, permanently dyed a deep charcoal colour that shimmers with iridescence, are 10mm in diameter and have good shine. Their shape is off-round and they exhibit the natural growth idiosyncrasies that are the hallmark of real (as opposed to synthetic) pearls. Each pearl is crowned by granulated elements of antiqued 22 karat gold over sterling silver, and flanked by small faceted rondelles of black onyx.

These drops fall 1" from solid 14K gold earwires and ship in a gift box.
