Pearl Drop Earrings - Ambroise Degenève

Freshwater pearls meet rugged, darkened copper in these sculptural drop earrings, revealing an unexpected beauty beneath the pearl's familiar lustrous surface.

Handmade by Ambroise Degenève in Paris, whose jewellery explores the history and symbolism of adornment through experimental materials and unconventional techniques.

Using electroforming, Degenève combines cultured freshwater pearls with richly textured, patinated copper. The pearls are sliced to reveal their internal growth rings, creating an intriguing contrast between their luminous exterior and exposed interior. Finished with 18ct gold ear wires, each pair celebrates the unexpected possibilities of familiar materials.
