A stunning pair of canetille-worked rock crystal earrings.
True to the tradition of Pool of Light jewellery, each piece holds a perfectly round, undrilled sphere of quartz - so clear and flawless that light seems to refract softly within, as if a luminous orb had been captured at its heart. The crystal orbs are embraced by 18ct gold cages, their form borrowing stylistic cues from early Viking examples. Above, fine canetille work crowns each earring, the delicate detail suspended from later gold hooks to create a gentle, elegant movement.
