N°10 Mother's Day 2025 Special Set

Drawn From the Pulsing Polyps of a Soft Coral

This set was born out of those quiet moments watching fish hover motionless in open space, or following the slow undulation of a soft coral colony as it sways with the water’s pulse. The spiral pendant holds that meditative energy—it’s the visual echo of light refracting on the surface and rippling over sand, or the hypnotic movement of a feather star’s arms as they reach into the current. The soft blues and greys in the stones remind me of the muted palette of dusk underwater, when everything softens—reef shadows stretch, colours flatten, but somehow the reef feels even more alive.

At this stage I have to introduce you to the star of this set - an intriguing type of Opal which you may have never come across before - Owyhee Blue Opal. This gemstone has only recently (2003) been discovered near the sacred Indian springs of Owyhee in  Oregon. Its colour palette ranges from rich sky blue to black and translucent (depending on the level of oxidation) and it is regarded as the rarest form of opal. It is the stripy patterns - that feel like a unique fingerprint of each and every bead that first made me fall in love with this unbelievable gemstone. Mixed with its "sister stone" Kyanite, with which it shares that same blue hue, tiny Aquamarines, Brazilian Agates & ample Turkish silver-plated parts, this piece is serious eye candy.

If there was a "sister fabric" to Owyhee Opal it would be denim-they are made for each other! 

Like all our pieces, this set is handcrafted with love and care in our studio in Lennox Head. These eclectic limited-edition statement earrings are made from the following semi-precious stones and findings:

• Kyanite from Jaipur, India
• Owyhee Opal from USA
• Aquamarine from India
• Pearls from Shanghai
• Agates from Brazil
• Silver-plated beads from Bali, pendant from Istanbul
• Necklaces: short, can be varied via the extender chain or CONNECTED to create one mid-to long necklace!
• Oval Owyhee Opal Oval Earrings (left) length: 4.9cm
• Swirl Ear wire Owyhee Opal Earrings (rightt) length: 5.8cm
• A third small pair of pearl drop earrings for when you want a little less!

The Set will be beautifully gift-wrapped and ready as an exceptional gift for yourself or an unexpected gift for someone special.

This set isn’t just inspired by the ocean. I'd like to think it’s what it feels like to belong in it.
