Nerida Jade Lotus Stud Earrings

The lotus (莲花) rises clean from the mud to open in still water, which is why it has long stood in Chinese tradition for purity, integrity, and the quiet strength to remain unspoiled. Here the flower is rendered in miniature, its petals washed in blue and teal around a soft teardrop of white Hetian jade (和田玉).

Key Features

• Lotus in bloom (莲花). A small, sculpted lotus with layered petals, shaded from bright gold at the tips to deep blue at the base.
• White Hetian jade heart (和田玉). A teardrop cabochon of natural Hetian jade forms the centre, prized for its soft, oily lustre.
• Enamel petals. The coloured petals are finished in enamel, giving each flower its gentle gradient of blue and teal against the gold.
• Fine silver, gold finish. Made in S999 fine silver with 18K gold plating for a warm, lasting glow.
• Petite stud. At roughly 9.7 mm, a small, close-set stud that sits neatly on the ear and carries from day to evening, with cheongsam, hanfu, or modern dress.

Materials & Details

• S999 fine silver with 18K gold plating
• Natural white Hetian jade (和田玉) centre
• Enamel petals in blue and teal
• Total height approximately 9.7 mm
• Natural jade varies in tone from piece to piece, and each pair is shipped as received, so it will differ a little from the photographs. 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. The enamel is delicate, so avoid knocks against hard surfaces and keep the pair away from harder pieces.
