There is a lovely sense of movement to these vintage drop earrings. Large pear-shaped South Sea pearls hang beneath ruby and diamond drops, their lustre catching the light as they sway. Made in gold that tests as 18ct, the earrings bring together the softness of pearl with a vivid touch of ruby and the sparkle of brilliant-cut diamonds.

Each drop features a ruby between two brilliant-cut diamonds and hangs from a shepherd’s hook fitting. At 4.2cm long, they make an elegant choice for an occasion, a ruby anniversary gift, or someone born in July.
