Commissioned piece
Emily — South Sea Pearl Drops
The brief
Emily came in for her tenth anniversary. She already owned studs, and wanted something she could wear to the office but that would still turn heads at dinner. Her mother had a pair of pearl drops that she remembered from childhood.
How it was built
We sourced a matched pair of 9.5mm South Sea whites, then designed a hinged gold hook so the pearls swing freely. The setting is minimal — just a small bezel at the top — so the pearl does the talking.
Where the design changed
Iterations are kept on file with the client's comments, because the second version usually explains the final piece better than the first render does.
