Helena Watermelon Tourmaline Earrings
A glittering, kinetic tribute to ancient Byzantine chandelier earrings, the Helena earrings showcase a pair of glowing peachy pink and olive green watermelon tourmaline, two oval peach tourmaline, and 6 antique cultured pearls, c. 1900, rescued from a damaged brooch. Hook and settings are made from hand-mixed and drawn 14k rose gold in a custom peach color.
These earrings are named for Helena, who was the second-longest reigning Empress of the Byzantine empire, who acted as co-regent and political advisor to her husband, Emperor Constantine.
Earrings measure 1.75” from top of hook to bottom, 1.75” across at widest point.
The settings are entirely hand fabricated using wire and sheet made in-studio, starting from recycled pure 24k gold grain.
