Otherworldly Oxidised Silver Diamond Star Heart Drop Earrings

Editor’s Notes

These diamond heart drop earrings are another distinctive, oxidised silver offering from Acanthus – the fine jewellery line by designer Nicole McIver, whose art history background informs every last detail.Each of these drop earrings features a small, oxidised silver heart with a brilliant cut white diamond centre and a 14 carat gold wire hook. Hand-applied 24 carat gold foil is painstakingly cut, placed and bonded to the silver using the ancient Korean gilding technique of ‘keum-boo’ to create the heart’s cut-out star design. Team it with the coordinating diamond heart pendant necklace for an enchanting evening look.“As an art historian, I treasure the relationship between artist and patron, and I want the wearers of my jewellery to know exactly where their special piece came from, which is directly from my hands.” – Nichole McIver, Acanthus founder
