Balancing Duality Earrings - Kate Alterio

The Balancing of Duality Earrings are a bold and contemporary design in sterling silver from NZ maker Kate Alterio. These earrings feature a beautiful solid silver half sphere stud with an elongated keshi pearl hanging below. The contrast in these materials is just stunning. 

These earrings measure approximately 34mm from the top of the stud to the bottom of the pearl and are approximately 12mm wide.
