Jade and Gold Drop Earrings

A beloved, classic and difficult to find style of earring. These feature a round piece of jade set in a gold post, with a secondary element - an elongated jade drop set in a golden cap - balancing below. Jade is a mineral known for its excellent toughness (resistance to breakage) due to its structure composed of interlocking small crystals. This pair of earrings is fashioned from nephrite, which is a variety of jade. Nephrite is often known for being a softer, earthier shade of green, easily complementing most skin tones and hair colors. The gold in these earrings is 14 karat, and a slightly rosy hue (common in vintage gold) which beautifully contrasts the green of the jade. Comes complete with slightly oversize push backs, also of 14 karat gold. Altogether, these earrings are simply stunning and bound to become a favorite pair.
