Persée 18kt gold single earring with sapphire and topaz

Persée reinterprets fine jewelry with its signature pierced stone technique, creating an illusion of floating gems. This single earring exemplifies the approach, featuring a deep blue, pear-shaped sapphire drop suspended from a gold hoop adorned with topaz, offering a modern way to wear precious stones.

The art of the detail

Designed as a single earring for pierced ears, this piece balances modern asymmetry with classic materials. It is rendered from 18kt yellow gold, forming a small hoop that secures with a discreet hinge closure. The front of the gold hoop is embellished with a line of round-cut blue topaz, held in delicate prong settings. From this base hangs a single pear-shaped blue sapphire, adding movement and a rich color contrast. The composition of precious gold and vibrant gemstones results in a refined, yet contemporary adornment.

How to wear

Wear this single earring to introduce a subtle point of interest to a sharp blazer and silk camisole for after-work events. It serves as a solitary focal point, complementing a curated selection of fine gold rings for a polished, yet understated effect. The deep blue tones of the sapphire and topaz also harmonize beautifully with a monochromatic knit dress, adding a touch of color for a sophisticated dinner gathering. Its unique design makes it an ideal accent for both professional and celebratory settings, offering a versatile addition to a refined jewelry collection.

About Persée

Founded by Nawal Laoui, Persée draws inspiration from Greek mythology and the story of Perseus to inform its innovative approach to jewelry. The brand’s signature is the ‘pierced’ diamond, a technique that drills directly into the stone, allowing it to move freely and catch light from all angles. This single earring embodies that philosophy of lightness and modernity, showcasing precious gemstones without heavy settings. Each piece is a study in minimalist design, celebrating the pure beauty of the materials through expert craftsmanship.
