925 Sterling Silver Mother of Pearl Heart CZ Stud Earrings
Mother of pearl is the inside of the shell. Every oyster, every mussel, every abalone that has ever grown in the ocean has lined the inside of its shell with nacre — the same calcium carbonate crystals that form the pearl itself, arranged in microscopic layers that interfere with light and produce the iridescent, rainbow-shifting glow that has made mother of pearl one of the most prized materials in fine jewelry, decorative arts, and luxury goods for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians inlaid mother of pearl into furniture and jewelry. The ancient Chinese used it in lacquerware. The Aztecs used it in mosaics. The great watchmakers of Switzerland use it for dial faces. Mother of pearl is the material that the ocean makes for itself — the lining of its own home — and it is the most beautiful interior in the natural world. Cut into the heart shape — the universal symbol of love — the mother of pearl becomes the most romantic material in the most romantic form: the heart that glows with the iridescent light of the ocean, the love that is as deep and as luminous as the sea. This 925 sterling silver stud earring sets mother of pearl in the heart design alongside white zircon CZ accent stones using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.4g. The earring that wears the ocean's most beautiful interior in the shape of love.
Why You'll Love It
-
Mother of Pearl — The Ocean's Interior — Mother of pearl — the nacre lining of the shell, the iridescent material that the ocean makes for itself. The calcium carbonate crystals arranged in microscopic layers that interfere with light and produce the rainbow-shifting glow that has made mother of pearl one of the most prized materials in fine jewelry for thousands of years. The MOP that catches the light with the soft, iridescent luminosity that no faceted stone can replicate — the glow that shifts from white to pink to blue to gold as the angle of observation changes.
-
Heart Shape — The Most Romantic Form — The ❤️ heart — the universal symbol of love in every culture that has ever made jewelry. Cut from mother of pearl, the heart becomes the most romantic material in the most romantic form: the heart that glows with the iridescent light of the ocean, the love that is as deep and as luminous as the sea. The MOP heart earring that is simultaneously a beautiful piece of fine jewelry and the most direct declaration of love in the collection.
-
Iridescent Glow — The Shifting Light — The mother of pearl heart catches the light differently from every angle — the iridescent glow that shifts from white to pink to blue to gold as the wearer moves, the rainbow-shifting luminosity that makes the MOP heart appear to be alive and in constant, gentle transformation. The earring that is never the same twice, the fine jewelry piece that rewards the person who looks closely enough to see all the colors within the white.
-
White CZ Accents — The Sparkling Frame — White zircon CZ accent stones set in the inlay technique alongside the mother of pearl heart — the diamond-look brilliance of the CZ creating a sparkling frame around the iridescent MOP center, the combination of the shifting pearl glow and the concentrated CZ sparkle making the heart appear most vivid and most alive.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the mother of pearl heart its most traditional and most luminous expression — the gold and pearl combination that has been the standard of romantic fine jewelry for centuries. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the MOP heart its most contemporary expression — the silver frame that makes the iridescent pearl appear most luminous and most pure.
