A refined pair of mother-of-pearl and pearl earrings, re-purposed from antique shirt buttons are crafted in a distinctive combination of 15K yellow gold and platinum. These earrings present a restrained, elegant design with fine materials and careful hand assembly.
Each earring is formed as a round plaque, featuring a platinum ribbed edge framing a flat mother-of-pearl ground, centered by a post-set pearl. The mixed-metal construction and subtle contrast between platinum, gold, and nacre give these earrings a quietly sophisticated appearance.
