Antique in feel, easy in practice. The Vintage Gold Turquoise Gemstone Drop Earrings frame a turquoise-blue glass mosaic in a teardrop, set in warm gold-plated zinc alloy with rhinestones tracing the edge.

The mosaic is built from small pieces, so the blue-green surface breaks up the light rather than reflecting it in one flat sheet, which is what gives it that old, collected look. The gold tone is warm rather than bright, and the rhinestone edging adds just enough glitter to lift the stone.

Why you'll love it:

• The mosaic surface and antiqued gold together look like something inherited rather than bought.
• Reads beautifully against white linen, denim and tan leather, from daytime into a summer evening.
• The plating is made for regular wear and will not fade, tarnish or discolour your ears.
