The refined simplicity of the Dewdrop Akoya pearl earrings from the Mythologie collection is inspired by the myths and legends of the pearl, finished with sparkling diamonds and 18 carat rose gold.
The Mythologie Dewdrop Akoya Pearl and Diamond Earrings celebrates the pearl's history as a symbol of purity, love and wisdom.
Hand finished in 18 carat rose gold, the elongated drop shape of the earrings captures the sparkle of morning dew, which some ancient cultures believed was crystallised into a pearl. The teardrop of sparkling diamonds reflects the light, like the morning sun.
The earrings feature a pair of cultured Akoya saltwater pearls, traditionally cultured in Japan, and admired for their sharp reflective lustre.
Each earring is topped by a pave of brilliant cut diamonds, with a total diamond weight of approximately 0.15 carats per pair. The total drop of the earring is approximately 2.5cm.
The earrings are designed and crafted in the UK.
The Mythologie Dewdrop Akoya Pearl and Diamond Earrings in Rose Gold can also be purchased with a matching Mythologie Dewdrop Akoya Pearl and Diamond Pendant in Rose Gold.
