The new earrings: black pearls and sterling silver: sold out

Two new fashions combine to create these lovely new Halcyon pearl earrings: the elegant and feminine chandeliers, and the ocean-inspired fashions which triumphed on the catwalks this season, and which sent collections such as Chanel into pearl fantasy.

We spied these lovely earrings in the Hawaiian islands, and we were wowed: the long drop earrings in natural lustrous black pearls are fabulous—neither over the top nor bling-y, they add just the right amount of decorative detail to suggest the ocean, and sartorial elegance without overkill.

The design incorporates three lines of graduated black freshwater pearls, from small round pearls to a larger teardrop pearl, lustrous and beautiful, linked by a silver chain. The pearls and silver catch the light so that the effect elongates your neck and frames your face, making your evening look totally luxurious. Add a pair of your favourite heels and they are all you need to take you from day to evening in an instant.

These lovely earrings arrive in a smart presentation case, and can be gift wrapped and sent with your message if you wish.

The drop is 6cm (just over 2 1/4in), and they are secured by means of a shepherd’s hook. RRP £98. CCUK £43.
