Statement & Heirloom
Ophelia Statement Drops
$1,200
Statement drops sized to read from across the room — 22mm South Sea pearls capped in solid 18k gold, hand-shaped at the bench. The cap is the work: a hand-chased pattern drawn from the original 2019 sketch, polished only at the ridges, satin in the recesses.
Sold as a matched pair. We grade each pearl for lustre (AAA), surface (clean, no spots), and roundness (drop +/- 0.4mm tolerance). The slight asymmetry between left and right is intentional — they're matched to the ear, not to a mold.
Six weeks at the bench, including pearl sourcing. Shepherd-hook posts in solid gold (no plating, no fill).
