Emerald Lily Fresh Water Carved Pearl Earrings
Item #101970 $826Earrings Description
Galatea jewelry is known for the way it utilizes traditional elements to explore natural themes. These pieces also commonly incorporate light in unconventional ways, as they continue to push the limits of what is possible in fine jewelry design.
Carved Pearls
The main portion of each earring in this set is made up of a 10mm freshwater pearl that’s been carved into the shape of a lily. The rippling surface that’s created by the carving causes the pearl to reflect light in a complex combination of ways that helps to highlight the beauty of the material. The subtle contrast that reflection creates also adds definition to the design and enhances the overall natural feel of the piece. Earrings
Emerald Centers
In the center of each pearl, a small round emerald is held in a six prong setting made from 14k yellow gold. The emeralds stand out despite their small size thanks to the dramatic contrast with both the metal they’re set in and the silky white of the pearl. The warmth of the yellow gold and the rich green of the stones also play into the organic and floral themes of the piece.
On the back of each earring, a white gold stud extends back to pass through the ear. This design keeps the pearl and emerald combination as the sole visual focus of the set, eliminating distraction and helping to reinforce the natural elegance of the set.

Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
