Treasures of antiquity, naturally one of a kind.

Treasured by the ancient Romans for their beauty and rarity, pearls have adorned jewellery for thousands of years. These elegant earrings celebrate that heritage with naturally individual baroque pearls suspended from polished 18ct gold plated stainless steel hooks.

DETAILS

HISTORICAL INSPIRATION

The Baroque Pearl Earrings celebrate the remarkable importance of pearls in ancient Roman jewellery. Among the most desirable luxury materials of antiquity, pearls travelled through extensive trading networks before reaching the wealthy households and jewellery workshops of Rome. Roman women adorned themselves with pearl earrings, necklaces and elaborate golden ornaments, displaying their wealth and appreciation for rare natural beauty. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder recorded the extraordinary value placed upon pearls, illustrating their association with luxury and refinement. Shinar reimagines this ancient appreciation through a delicate pair of golden drop earrings, allowing the natural lustre and individuality of each baroque pearl to take centre stage.

THE STORY

Pearls of the Ancient World

Pearls were among the most coveted treasures of the ancient world, admired for their natural lustre, rarity and beauty.

Across the Mediterranean, they travelled along ancient trade routes to Rome, where wealthy women wore them in exquisite gold jewellery. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder recorded the extraordinary value placed upon these precious gems.

Pearl earrings became particularly admired adornments, their luminous surfaces beautifully complemented by delicate golden settings.

Yet the beauty of natural pearls was never dependent upon perfect symmetry. Their organic shapes and subtle variations made every pearl beautifully individual.

The Baroque Pearl Earrings celebrate this timeless character.

Each softly irregular pearl hangs from a polished golden hook, its gentle ivory lustre catching the light with every movement.

Inspired by the elegance of ancient Roman jewellery, Shinar brings together two materials treasured for thousands of years in a design that is effortlessly contemporary.

Worn alone or paired with the matching Baroque Pearl Necklace, they offer a graceful expression of enduring beauty.

A treasure of the ancient world, beautifully individual today.
