Laevié Athena Baroque Pearl Drop Hoop Earrings

A polished 18k gold hoop, and hanging from it, its opposite: a sculptural baroque pearl, 10 to 14 millimeters of form the water improvised. The Athena is the conversation between the two — the drawn line and the grown one.

The hoop frames the jaw; the pearl drops just below it and moves on its own schedule, catching light in irregular flashes with every turn of the head. This is the earring for slicked-back hair, a structured shoulder, a collarbone left visible — the single emphatic element in an otherwise disciplined outfit. It carries enough presence for evening and enough restraint for a Tuesday.

Baroque cultured freshwater pearls, 10–14mm. Hoops in 925 sterling silver plated in 18k gold. Weighted for presence, balanced for all-day wear.

Care & Keeping

Pearls follow one rule above all: last on, first off. Finish your perfume, hairspray, and lotion before your jewelry touches skin, and remove it before anything else at day's end. After each wear, pass a soft, lint-free cloth over the pearls to lift skin oils. Keep nacre clear of water, chlorine, and household chemicals, and store each piece separately. After wear, wipe gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not use a silver polishing cloth on the gold-plated finish. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam; a pearl's structure is organic, and irreplaceable.
