Freshwater Pearl Drop Earrings with Pink Tourmaline - "Vetus Quiet Waters"

"Vetus Quiet Waters" earrings take their name seriously. Soft blush pink tourmalines bezel-set in gold and surrounded by oxidized sterling silver sit above luminous freshwater pearl drops that sway below, the whole composition built to echo the quiet of a still river. Small natural diamond accents add a bit of light without ever overpowering the color story underneath.

Designed by Michael Jensen as a one-of-a-kind pair, the earrings mix oxidized sterling silver with both 22K and 14K yellow gold, giving them real depth against the pale pink of the tourmaline. The freshwater pearls are organically formed rather than perfectly matched, so each one carries its own particular shape. That natural variation is exactly what makes the pair feel handcrafted instead of assembled.

This is a good choice for someone drawn to soft color and quiet movement over obvious sparkle. The tourmaline brings warmth, the oxidized silver grounds everything with a moodier, more contemporary finish, and the pearls do the rest of the work simply by being themselves.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the earrings in person?
Pink tourmaline and freshwater pearls both carry natural variation in tone, so the blush and iridescence you see here can shift slightly depending on the light and your screen. Monitor settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the earrings you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.
