Colette Pearl Camellia Stud Earrings

The camellia (山茶花) blooms while the year is still cold, opening when few other flowers dare, which is why it has long stood for steadfast feeling, quiet resilience, and refined beauty. Rendered here in white, it carries a further note of purity and devotion. This little stud gathers a carved shell blossom, a single pearl, and a bright drop into one graceful cluster.

Key Features

• Carved shell blossom (贝壳花). The flower is hand-carved from natural shell, so each petal keeps the soft iridescence and gentle colour shifts of mother-of-pearl.
• Pearl and leaf detail. A round shell pearl nestles beside the bloom, framed by marquise-cut leaves that catch the light.
• Faceted teardrop. A small cubic zirconia drop hangs below the cluster, giving a gentle sway to an otherwise close-set stud.
• Sterling silver, gold finish. Made in S925 sterling silver with 18K gold plating for a warm, lasting glow.
• Petite and light. At roughly 19 mm tall, it sits close to the ear and carries easily from day to evening, with cheongsam, hanfu, or modern dress.

Materials & Details

• S925 sterling silver with 18K gold plating
• Carved shell (mother-of-pearl) flower
• Shell pearl, a pearl formed from shell rather than a natural freshwater pearl
• Synthetic cubic zirconia leaves and teardrop
• Approximately 19 mm high and 16 mm wide
• Natural shell varies in tone and iridescence from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. These are nature's hallmarks.

Care

Keep away from water, perfume, and prolonged sunlight. Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not in use. Wipe gently with a dry cloth after wear. Shell and shell pearl are delicate and porous, so let perfume and hairspray settle before putting the earrings on, and avoid knocks against hard surfaces.
