Nathalie Jean 6.36 Carat Diamond2 Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver Drop Earrings
Located in Milan, Lombardia
An attempt to “poeticize science” is the best way to describe these earrings. They trace their inspiration to the observation of the deep-green lotus leaves floating on a pool within the temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. As the leaves moved, tiny water droplets bounced around on their hydro-repellent surface and gathered into nearly perfectly spherical-shaped bigger drops of various sizes. Experimenting further, by pouring honey, a more viscous liquid, onto a lotus leaf, even stranger, more elaborately sinuous and endlessly morphing domed shapes appear. The phenomenon, known as the Lotus Effect, not only provided the name of the new set of jewelry, Lotus & Honey, but also inspired its forms. The meandering, metallic elements appear to flow gracefully like liquid, creating an effortless impression of mellifluous movement. Interspersed are gemstones that sparkle like water droplets dancing in the midday sun. As always, each piece is handmade in Milan to the highest level of craftsmanship with a spellbindingly meticulous attention-to-detail. The earrings are lithely articulated thanks to intricate, quasi-invisible hinges, while the gemstones are set in an innovative cross between a prong and a bezel, with a dome-shaped back that readily evokes beads of liquid. Rhodium-plated silver was used for a maximum water-like translucency and the revolutionary lab-grown gem called Diamond2 out of ethical and ecological concerns. As beautiful as real diamonds, they eschews the issues associated with mining them, such as damage to the environment and political violence. The pairing of silver and diamonds is a nod to jewelry tradition. The combination, which may appear unusual nowadays, was very common in the first part of the 19th century. White gold had not been invented and platinum was not used for jewelry. So, if you wanted to prevent the beauty of precious stones being diminished in the yellow glow of the candles, silver with its bright white color was the only option. For pierced ears. Long Earring dimensions: Width 22mm, Height 86mm, Depth 11mm. Short Earring dimensions: Width 31mm, Height 63mm, Depth 12mm. Lotus & Honey Necklace...

Diamond, Pearl and Antique Drop Earrings

Earrings are a timeless accessory. Women have been wearing studs and hoops in civilizations as far back as Ancient Egypt. Diamond drop earrings, pearl versions and other antique drop earrings have a long history as well.

While hoops will always be beautiful, drop earrings hold their own as dazzling accessories, and jewelry designers have explored different variations on this style of earring over time.

Although the term is often misapplied, true drop earrings are characterized by a long lean line ending in a pear-shaped stone that drops just below the earlobe. These accessories were popular in the Art Deco era, which encompassed the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design.

There were many influences on Art Deco jewelry; among them, the excavation of the tomb of King Tut in 1922. “Egyptomania” left an indelible mark on all of the major jewelry houses, from Cartier to Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Georges Fouquet. Today, the popularity of long Art Deco drop earrings can be attributed to the influence of Coco Chanel. These earrings are frequently characterized by simple shapes, clean lines and an integration of colorful stones such as blue sapphires, emeralds and rubies to accent the pieces’ diamonds. Indeed, during the 20th century, as technology for diamond cutting improved, diamond drop earrings and other diamond jewelry came into wide popularity. Formal examples of diamond drop earrings pair perfectly with a cocktail dress or fancy pantsuit, while gem-set and gold drop earrings make great daytime accessories.

While there are at least several types of earrings you could be wearing right now, drop earrings work well for anyone who favors a minimalist look. Whatever the occasion, find a wide range of antique, diamond and pearl drop earrings on 1stDibs.
