Temple Bell Gold Earrings Yellow Gold Pearl Ruby

The bell is raised in two halves and seamed, which keeps the wall thin. The drop is articulated below the lobe, jointed so it moves independently of the top rather than swinging as one piece. 130 pearls follow the line of the piece rather than filling it.

The relief is raised from the reverse with hammer and punch, working the metal up rather than cutting it away. Two stones in one piece means sorting both for colour first, so the rubies do not fight the pearls. 22KT gold is soft to work and unforgiving to finish.
