Snowberry Earrings with Pearls and Jade, Surgical Stainless Steel

Snowberry Inspired by the delicate beauty of snowberries, which ripen in a gradient of green to white, we meticulously crafted these pieces to evoke the intricate detail of the berries. Our aim was to recreate their essence using pearls and jade. The resemblance is so uncanny, you might mistake them for the real thing if seen on a tree. They blend in beautifully, with a delightfully plump and charming form. The flower language of Symphoricarpos is "Devoted Forever." The pure white of the berries suggests a sincere return to one's true self. While these are pearl items, their charming and slightly playful aesthetic makes them easy to pair with any outfit. They add a touch of loveliness to any ensemble, and their harmonious colors are simply unmatched. Each pearl possesses its own unique character, with subtle striations or dimples, but the freshwater pearls boast a strong luster, making these pieces truly a point of pride. They are also perfect as a gift for someone special. We envision pairing them with flared sleeves, botanical prints, or soft, flowing adult tops. The exquisite luster of these pieces beautifully accentuates mature attire.

For this piece, we have used Akoya pearls harvested from Akoya oysters. Pearls have a long history, appearing in records from as early as 3200 BCE in Egypt, with Cleopatra famously dissolving one in vinegar. Records show their use in other parts of the world: China around 2300 BCE, Persia in the 7th century BCE, and Rome in the 3rd century BCE. In Japan, mentions can be found in ancient texts like the Nihon Shoki, Kojiki, and Manyoshu. The Gishi Wajinden also records that Himiko of Yamatai sent 5,000 white pearls to Cao Wei. The Manyoshu includes 56 poems that feature pearls. Pearls are designated as a June birthstone according to Japanese tradition, whereas Western customs prioritize hardness for heirloom pieces. In Japan, they are revered due to their status as a specialty product. They are said to be the most fitting gemstone for Japanese women, resembling the natural tone of their skin. ■ About Jade Keywords: Wisdom, Peace, Leap, May Birthstone Jade is a translucent green gemstone. It has been highly popular and treasured more than gold since ancient times in the East (China) and Mesoamerica (Inca civilization). It was historically referred to as "gyoku." The Japanese word "hisui" originally referred to the kingfisher bird, but over time came to also denote the gemstone jade. Jade is found in all orogenic belts and primarily exists within serpentinite. Serpentinite is formed from the alteration of olivine, abundant in the Earth's mantle, due to regional metamorphism near plate boundaries.
