Odette Mother-of-Pearl Orchid Stud Earrings

The orchid (兰花) has long stood in Chinese tradition for grace, refinement, and quiet nobility, a flower of the scholar and a symbol of understated elegance. Here a single butterfly orchid is carved from shell and paired with a freshwater pearl, a small and graceful stud for everyday wear. Key Features Carved shell orchid (兰花). The bloom is hand-carved from natural shell with a soft enamel wash, so each petal keeps the gentle iridescence of mother-of-pearl. Freshwater pearl. A single natural freshwater pearl sits beside the flower, its soft lustre balancing the petals. Fine detailing. A slender cluster of gold-toned stamens rises from the centre of the bloom, a delicate finishing touch. Sterling silver. Made in S925 sterling silver for lasting, everyday wear. Petite stud. At roughly 12 mm, a small, close-set stud that sits neatly on the ear and carries from day to evening, with cheongsam, hanfu, or modern dress. Materials & Details S925 sterling silver Carved shell (mother-of-pearl) flower with enamel Natural freshwater pearl, approximately 8 mm wide at the setting Total height approximately 12 mm Natural shell and pearl vary in tone and lustre from piece to piece, and each pair is shipped as received, so it will differ a little from the photographs. These are nature's hallmarks. Care Keep away from water, perfume, and prolonged sunlight. Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not in use. Wipe gently with a dry cloth after wear. Shell and pearl are soft and porous, so let perfume and hairspray settle before putting the earrings on, and avoid knocks against hard surfaces.
