'Juno Earrings'

I thought I'd share a new design with you, entitled 'Juno' earrings.



This design was created as a development from the popular Peacock Bangle. It incorporates the same scallop motif, yet in an evening wear graduated form, and studded all over with pave set diamonds. Small dark blue sapphires are reverse set across the lower edge, echoing the colours in the feathers and pulling the whole look together. The feathered panels are protected by a custom cut rock crystal fascia.


Few materials left untouched by man are as naturally stunning as the peacock feather. In Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology peacock feathers were considered all-seeing. They were also symbols of eternal life and renewal. The Greeks dedicated the peacock to Juno, the goddess of the sky and stars.
