Earrings 18k White Gold Tahitian Pearls with Rubies & Diamonds Drop

18k White Gold Drop Earrings. 2 Natural Tahitian Pearls, 18 Round Rubies and 2 Diamonds.

Natural Tahitian pearls are grown in the black-lipped oyster of French Polynesia, and they are prized for their dark body color and the overtones that shift across the surface as they move — green, aubergine, silver, peacock. No two are exactly alike, which is part of the appeal.

Here each pearl hangs below a line of round rubies and a diamond, set in 18k white gold. The rubies add a warm flash of red that makes the deep tones of the pearl read even richer, and white gold keeps the whole design cool and modern rather than vintage.

Studs on top, movement below: polished enough for an evening out, and easy enough to wear with a simple white shirt.
