18 Carat Yellow & White Gold Long Drop Pearl Earrings

These stunning earrings are made from 18 carat yellow and white gold featuring four oval ear studs with a white pearl and a long ‘raw’ white gold drop.

Handmade by Jean Scott-Moncrieff whose work is characterised by the simplest forms – trying always to achieve perfect proportions – allowing the beautiful colours of the gold and gemstones to come to the fore. Jean is influenced by the art and artefacts of ancient Mediterranean cultures, and love visiting the archaeological collections in Rome, Agrigento, Heraklion and Cairo.

Jean uses traditional hand tools and techniques; piercing, drilling, planishing and forging high carat gold, embellished with old cut gemstones, cabochons and beads. The stones are meticulously selected for colour and shape – the flaws and inclusions add to their unique properties.

Every piece is handmade by Jean in her Sussex workshop – finished using very fine emery papers resulting in a lustrous unpolished surface, with the edges brightly burnished.
