I have always been intrigued and mesmerized by pearls. As a jeweler, I set my goal on preserving the pure beauty of the pearl. The idea of protective cover started in the form of a shell, but during the creative process it elongated, turning into a natural pearl pod. These earrings has soft organic lines, which makes it ever so elegant and feminine.
