Sustainable solid sterling silver, high quality golden shell pearls made from natural mother of pearl, and midnight-blue sunstone beads.
Because their core is made of genuine mother-of-pearl, golden shell pearls like all peal variations are believed to help with emotional balance and calm. Their golden hue is associated with helping attract wealth and success.
Blue sunstone is valued for boosting confidence and ambition, as well as easing stress and self-doubt.
Silver provides a steadying influence. It performs a balancing act by drawing negativity from the body while transferring the positive energies of other minerals.
approx 30mm long
On sterling silver ear hooks with a little notch at the end for extra security
Designed and handmade in my South East London atelier.
A bow is a bow, you might think. Until you start playing with its shape.
The delicious BERTIN earrings are part of a limited range where I have reimagined the classic bow shape.
Here, I wanted something with a little more drama, bringing together three contrasting elements: the brightness of silver, the warmth of pearls and the richness of deep blue.
I have named these earrings after Rose Bertin, the remarkable French dressmaker and fashion entrepreneur whose creations helped define the style of Marie-Antoinette’s court.
Her imagination, independence and flair for adornment feel particularly appropriate for a pair of earrings designed to be noticed.
The BERTIN earrings bring a little theatricality to a familiar jewellery classic. They have a distinctly contemporary personality.
More widely, they are part of the Strength collection, because bows, and knots in general, are ancient symbols of strength, unions, and ties that bind. They stand for loyalty and beauty.
You have a romantic streak, an independent mind and a healthy appreciation for a little extravagance.
You enjoy dressing up, although you don’t necessarily need an invitation. And you know that an interesting pair of earrings can completely change the mood of an outfit.
The BERTIN earrings are made for you!
There’s femininity here, certainly. And plenty of character too.
You will appreciate the slight edginess of the crisp graphic bows, softened by the gentle golden hue roundedness of the shell pearls.
They symbolise that constant inner tension we all experience between strength and fragility. Isn’t that a beautiful message to wear?
These earrings love an occasion. Perhaps even more than her sister earrings, AGATE or CELESTE, the feel is very much Art Deco with this dark / light , lines / curves dialogue going on.
Think a black velvet jacket, a beautifully cut navy dress or a high-neck silk blouse. The golden pearls add warmth around the face, while the polished silver and midnight-blue beads introduce a little contrast.
For a more relaxed interpretation, try them with a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers. The bows bring just enough theatricality to make an otherwise simple outfit feel rather special.
And for Christmas? They’re practically asking to come to the party.
Wear your hair up or tucked behind your ears, and let the BERTIN do the talking.
