In Chinese tradition, red is the most auspicious of colours, and cinnabar (朱砂) has long been treasured as its truest expression, a warm vermilion once linked with good fortune, vitality, and protection. These earrings pair a round cinnabar bead with a small clover set in gold, a quiet wish for luck carried close to the face. Key Features Cinnabar drop (朱砂). A round bead of deep vermilion cinnabar sits just below the clover, rich in colour and warm against the skin. South Red agate clover (南红玛瑙). The four-petal top is set with a natural South Red agate cabochon, a prized Chinese stone whose soft red echoes the cinnabar below. The marks of natural stone. The agate carries fine natural markings and gentle shifts in tone from piece to piece. These are nature's hallmarks, so no two pairs are exactly alike. Sterling silver, gold finish. Made in S925 sterling silver with 18K gold plating for a warm, lasting glow. Close to the ear. At roughly 20 mm, it sits neatly as a compact stud and carries from day to evening, with cheongsam, hanfu, or modern dress.
