Pearl Blossom Earrings — Lustrous White Pearls in Sculpted Sterling Silver, from the New Sylva Collection

Pearl Blossom — a classic pearl with a rather lovely new twist

The pearl has survived every passing fashion for the simple reason that it never really goes out of style. But even the most enduring classics occasionally benefit from a fresh pair of eyes.

These delightful new Pearl Blossom Earrings are a case in point. Instead of the familiar plain pearl stud, each lustrous white pearl is nestled within a little arrangement of sculpted silver petals, creating something altogether more interesting. The softly curved setting, crafted in rhodium-plated sterling silver, catches the light beautifully, while the pearl itself remains very much the star of the show.

The design comes from a San Francisco jewellery house admired for its originality and craftsmanship. Part of its new Sylva Collection, inspired by the beauty of the natural world, Pearl Blossom has a pleasingly organic quality. The petals suggest a flower just opening, but the effect is elegant rather than elaborate — a distinction not every floral jewellery design manages to achieve.

What we particularly like is how easily these earrings fit into everyday life. They look charming with a cashmere sweater or a crisp white shirt, yet have quite enough presence for an evening out. They are the sort of earrings one puts on in the morning and finds no reason to take off.

And they make a particularly lovely present, combining the lasting appeal of pearls with a design that feels fresh and individual.

The retail price is £150. CountryClubuk Members pay just £79, saving £71, with UK delivery included.

A beautiful little addition to the Jewellery Vault — and a very agreeable way to rediscover the pearl.
