Yin Yang Moons, Carved Jade Drop Earrings

Fine Yin Yang earrings set with carved jadeite in 18k.

Two pairs of studs to wear alone or pair with the carvings.

The striated jadeite captures a traditional way of jade carving, the material is preserved with only small pierced work and dense carving delicate in parts.

We mark this tradition with a pair of moon faces far from what comes to mind in these plaque style carvings.

This could be the most Chinese (or most European) pair of carved jade dangle earrings, it is what it is.

Two expressive moons, momentous and moody, coiffed by a crown of diamonds enjoined in the Yin Yang symbol.

The moons have a two-third halo of green, their way of return to what comes after.

The little spiral studs convey the lineage of red and green in fine jade jewelry.

Accent stones are natural diamonds, jadeite and rubellite cabochons.

The moons are 2cm around.
