Read the full description
Galatea jewelry is known for the way it uses conventional materials to explore natural themes. These pieces tend to incorporate light in innovative ways that continue to creatively push the boundaries of fine jewelry design. We have a long-standing relationship with the designer and are proud to offer their pieces to all of our customers.
Carved Tahitian Pearls
Each earring in this set centers on a 9mm black Tahitian pearl that’s been carved in an organic-style pattern made up of wavy grooves and teardrop-shaped indentations. The combination of these creates a sense of flowing water and an overall natural feel that is a hallmark of pieces by this designer.
The Tahitian pearls used in this set are notable for their rich, dark color, with highlights of pink, green and gold. The carving helps to highlight this detail, adding another dimension to the design. Tahitian pearls are also generally larger than some other types, giving them a greater surface area for the full expression of detail in the carving.
Earring Design
The pearls in these earrings are connected to the findings by a cap of 14k white gold. The cap only covers a small portion on the top of each pearl, and it has an uneven edge reminiscent of a flower design. This adds to the overall natural aesthetic of the set, and it complements the curves in the carved pattern as well. Above the cap, a ring connects to the simple, delicate finding, a detail that helps keep the visual focus squarely on the pearls below. 100% Satisfaction
