A little garden for each ear! Made of 14 karat yellow gold, these earrings each hold a panel of natural jade, carved and pierced right through with leaves and blossoms, approximately 30 carats of jade in all. It's a lovely deep green, mottled with lighter streaks the way jade so often is. Ribbons of single cut diamonds sweep across the top and curl around the bottom like leaves, with three larger diamonds in prongs gathered at the base. The diamonds sit in white settings, which keeps them bright against all that green.
Each piece of jade sits in an open yellow gold frame, with slim gold bands wrapped around the front to hold it. Because the carving is pierced, light comes through from behind. Jade is tough rather than hard—its crystals interlock like felt—which is why carvers have trusted it with fine, open work like this for thousands of years.
Please note, one of the jade panels shows a line running across its width, just beneath the gold band.

Wearing it with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
We do not sell what we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
