Palladium and Tourmalated Quartz Earrings

Sterling silver, 18K & 24K yellow gold, palladium, tourmalated quartz 51.78 ctw, white diamonds

Layers of opulent fascination build the foundation of this lustrous pair of earrings by Peter Schmid. Scattered across the body of his work, the artist builds his piece with seared palladium and oxidized sterling silver, creating a bright terrain of textured and contrasting feat. Eloquently, he pairs the earrings with tourmalated quartz. Nicely joined together, the dark lines of the quartz rest naturally upon the perimeter of each earring, and are an appeasing compliment to the overarching planes of silver and palladium that hang below. Behind, at the core of the translucent stones, Schmid imbues its shape with echoing notes in high karat gold. Small diamonds twinkle as they travel up, in and along his dramatic expression. As versatile as it is a sheer feat of impeccable design, Schmid allows the wearer to remove the silver/palladium planes so that the expression becomes a pair of luminescent stud earrings. Quite a sumptuous work of art, fitted to elegantly float upon and below the lobe. A satiable and intricate delight made solely from the mind of the master maker.
