Drop Earrings by Sanskriti Jewels

Known for jewellery pieces that are steeped in tradition yet with a touch of modernity, Sanskriti Jewels had such beautiful pieces of jewellery on display at Couture India. But what struck us the most were these unique earrings crafted with Pink Calcite and Angel Calcite – both these stones were merged together and then the pink flower with white accents was carved out of the merged stone. The pink flower has golden and freshwater pearl drops below, with diamond overlay around the edges. The whole piece is interwoven with leaves of both gold and diamonds.

Set in 18 K yellow and white gold finish, this radiant ring has 312 diamonds, weighing 3.15 carats.

The pendants are all strung together with seed pearls forming a captivating design by itself and joined by an adjustable silk cord.
