Jadau Grey Pearl & Diamond Earrings

One of our favourite things: the traditional Indian art of jadau setting showcased here in these grey pearl earrings that are inset with diamonds.

Jadau work jewellery is a traditional style of Indian jewellery making that involves intricate and delicate gold work combined with precious and semi-precious gemstones. The word "jadau" means "to insert" and in this style of jewellery gemstones [like for example diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and pearls] are in-set into a host gemstone to embellish the piece. We absolutely love this work and prize it for its craftsmanship and beauty.

Materials: the earrings are made of gold plated sterling silver and are set with grey pearl and diamond.  The kundan setting around the inset diamond is 18K fine gold.

Details: the earrings have a hook fixture and the total drop is approximately 3.5 cm.
