18kt Gold Birds Lament Double Drop Colette Set Earrings

£1,900

Double drop Colette set earrings featuring mixed stones set in 18kt gold, handmade in Jaipur by Om Prakash.

This collection is an ode to birds. Birds dart and flit across our paths daily, but we rarely stop to observe. A lament to birds is an expression of sorrow for the loss of habitat that has led to the dwindling number of birds in our world. 

Birds come in all colours and sizes; as does this collection of gems, from flamingo pink tourmaline, parrot
chrysoprase and canary yellow citrine, as well as the softer palette of aqua, green, lavender, and pink quartz. 

The gems are hand cut in Jaipur with Om Prakash and are a new cut for us, a geometric and sharper edged facet, though still loosely following the natural shape of the rough material. These charm necklaces are paired with handmade 18kt gold chains and drilled drops of brilliantly coloured unset and free form gems.

Meet The Maker

Om Prakash

The son of a farmer, Om learnt stone cutting when young. He first specialized in carving crystal Gods for the temples, but now runs a small workshop in Sanganer, just outside jaipur. He has a wonderful sensitivity to stones and has worked with us for over twenty years.

Cutting each gem, following its individual, organic shape and giving the merest hint of enhancement with the subtlest facets, he elicits a gentle sparkle from each. As the years have passed, we have experienced many of life’s adventures together. He has had two children, one a jewellery design student, the other, a training accountant.

Om now has a team who have learnt his skills, share his respect and understanding for these organic jewels and together, they continue to do a wonderful job.
