Summary

    Product Code: AEWRRG1342

    Availability: Shipment in 8 weeks

    Capture the mesmerising display of the northern lights, with three faceted stones in tsavorite garnet and green diamond, hand set in 18 carat rose gold, and a detachable pair of beautiful Akoya pearls.

    The Astral collection is inspired by the stars and the night skies, and captures their brilliance in radiant diamonds and heavenly combinations of coloured sapphires.

    Grouping three round faceted gemstones, the pieces reference the occurrence of the number three in nature – from the triangular patterns within major constellations, to the classical trefoil of petals and leaves.

    This pair of earrings feature six handset gemstones in tones of light, vibrant and dark green.

    The design of the earring allows the detachable Akoya pearls to be easily removed from the earring post. Each stud earring is accompanied by a push-back butterfly ear fitting.

    The saltwater Akoya pearl is cultured in Japanese coastal waters and is famed for its white body colour, delicate pink overtone and lustre.

    The Astral Aurora Studs in Rose Gold with Akoya Pearls are carefully crafted in the UK and finished in 18 carat rose gold.

    They can also be purchased with a matching Astral Aurora Akoya Pearl Pendant in Rose Gold or Astral Aurora Pendant in Rose Gold.

    The most popular Akoya and Freshwater pearl sizes for earrings and necklaces are between 7 and 9mm in diameter.

    South Sea and Tahitian pearls are typically worn between 9 and 11mm in diameter, or larger for more statement pieces.

    Pearl Lustre Excellent

    The lustre of a pearl describes how light is reflected from a pearl's surface. The strength of a pearl's lustre is one of the most important qualities to consider.

    Pearl Surface Clean

    Each pearl is unique and may often have small blemishes or irregularities on its surface.

    The presence of these surface characteristics may add to a pearl's individual beauty but, if significant, could suggest its durability might be affected.

    We grade the surface of the pearls in our jewellery with the GIA Pearl Description System. The table describes the different types of surface quality that are possible.

    Nacre Quality Acceptable

    Nacre is the unique layered material that gives a pearl its reflective and iridescent properties. A pearl's beauty and value may be determined by the thickness and crystal structure of its nacre.

    All our pearls are selected for having the highest grading of nacre quality (described as Acceptable) under the GIA Pearl Description System.

    The table describes the different types of nacre quality that are possible.
