The Cylinder Drop Earrings


Each earring suspends a cylindrical jadeite of high translucency and intense green, surmounted by a fully pavé-set fan frame anchored by an inverted pear-shaped diamond. The fan narrows at the apex and widens toward its curved base, an intentional progression that frames the jadeite before the eye even reaches it. The cylinder passes directly through the fan’s lower curve, held entirely by the white gold structure beneath it. No prongs cross the stone. The jadeite sits suspended within the frame, its surface completely unobstructed from every angle. Pavé continues along the underside of the cylinder, completing the full circumference so no edge is left unconsidered, highlighted by an oscillating oval briolette diamond suspending from the bottom. Every diamond is set to catch light; every structural line points toward the jadeite. Left and right are identical in orientation, not mirrored — a deliberate choice that preserves the linear rhythm of the design.
Intense green with strong saturation, medium-to-dark tone, high translucency, and very fine grain. Matching cylinders from the same rough requires precision and restraint. Their continuous, unbroken surfaces expose no facets to hide inconsistencies nor angles to mask tonal drift. The jadeite’s green resolves evenly along its full length, with no patchiness or grain interference. High translucency reveals colour as internal depth rather than surface pigment. Carving a single cylinder of this calibre is demanding; carving two identical cylinders from the same material demands uncommon access. Such stones are held in long reserve—the fruit of decades of selective sourcing and the patience to await perfect material. HKJSL certified. Myanmar origin. One pair.
The composition is anchored by a free-swinging oval briolette diamond. As one of the oldest gemstone cuts, the briolette is fully faceted in three dimensions, possessing no flat table, girdle, or pointed culet. Because it cannot sit upright in a traditional setting, it must hang freely. This allows the stone to catch light from every angle, producing a soft, rolling shimmer rather than the sharp flashes of modern brilliant cuts. Cutting a briolette demands an exceptionally clean piece of rough, as the 360-degree faceting leaves no place to hide inclusions, and sacrifices a significant portion of the original stone's weight. It is a cut reserved for connoisseurs who value kinetic movement and historical craftsmanship.
