Oxidised Peacock Chandelier Earrings – Jet Black

Three tiers, read from the top: a black marquise-stone crown, a fluted bar, and then a pair of peacocks facing each other across a black pear-stone. The last tier is a wide rectangular black cabochon in a beaded frame, hung with pear- and round-shaped stones and four clusters of faux pearls that swing as you turn your head.

• Oxidised silver-tone finish over a base-metal alloy
• Facing-peacock motif with cross-hatched wing detailing
• Rectangular jet black cabochon with marquise, pear and round accent stones
• Faux pearl clusters on four short chains along the lower edge
• Post-and-push-back stud fitting

Black stone and oxidised silver are the safest long earrings to own — they hold up against a black saree with gold zari, and they stop a plain kurta from looking unfinished. The plates are hollow-backed, so the drop reaches the jaw without the weight that usually comes with it. Same design in lilac.
