A beautiful combination of luminous colour, iridescence and exceptional natural materials, these earrings bring together the captivating beauty of flashy black freshwater pearls and crystal opals.
Featuring generous 12mm black freshwater Mabe pearls, each displaying its own remarkable flashes of blue, green and violet, paired with delicate crystal opals that add a soft, luminous glow. The contrast between the dark, iridescent pearls and the milky play of colour in the opals creates a lovely balance of depth and light.
Mabe pearls are a fascinating form of cultured pearl, grown against the inside of a mollusc's shell rather than freely within the tissue. A small nucleus is attached to the inner shell, where layers of nacre gradually build around it, creating a beautiful domed pearl. Once harvested, the pearl is carefully removed and finished with a flat backing. Their distinctive shape and broad, lustrous surface make them particularly beautiful for jewellery.
Finished in 14k gold filled, these earrings celebrate the extraordinary colours and natural beauty of pearls and opals.
