9CT GOLD PEAR CUT EMERALD & DIAMOND DROP EARRINGS
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery, 25 Brunswick Road, Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 5WA
Right, let’s talk glamour with historical credentials. These aren’t just earrings — they’re tiny green time machines dangling from your lobes. Crafted in 9ct Yellow Gold, set with pear-cut Emeralds (7mm x 5mm), and finished with fine white Diamonds nestled in 9ct White Gold, these little beauties are what would happen if Cleopatra went on a shopping spree in Selfridges.
They’re elegant, they’re dazzling, and they’ve got that very specific “I own a villa in Tuscany and a secret” kind of energy.
💎 The Emerald Lowdown
Emeralds are a bit like that friend who only drinks filtered water and somehow looks radiant even on a hangover. They’re refined, eternal, and very particular — because, like Peridot and Alexandrite, Emerald only comes in one colour: green. No drama, no variations, just unapologetic, luxurious, deep green.
This gemstone’s been stealing hearts for over 4,000 years, first mined in Egypt under Pharaoh Sesostris III (who clearly had excellent taste). The Incas and Aztecs worshipped it, the Romans linked it to Venus, goddess of love and beauty, and modern astrologers gave it to Taurus, because obviously the bull sign gets the gemstone that looks like money.
Emeralds symbolise wisdom, friendship, and foresight, which is ideal because frankly, we could all use a bit more of all three.
And if you’re marking a milestone — Emerald is the gemstone for May birthdays, and anniversaries 20, 35, and 55. Because nothing says “we made it this far without killing each other” quite like a pair of shimmering green rocks.
✨ Details, Darling
Each earring pairs classic 9ct Yellow Gold warmth with a cool White Gold accent, making them ridiculously versatile. They go with anything from jeans to gowns, school run to champagne receptions.
Got commitment issues? The same design is available in Amethyst, Ruby, and Sapphire (in Yellow Gold), or if you’re feeling frosty and fabulous, White Gold versions come with Amethyst, Aquamarine, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Tanzanite. There’s even a matching pendant if you like your jewellery relationships exclusive.

💌 Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience™
Picture me: a one-woman jewellery empire, juggling parcels, polishing chains, and drinking too much tea. I aim to dispatch your new treasures the same day — but since I’m not powered by caffeine and chaos alone, some pieces are shipped to me from my trusted London suppliers before they waltz off to you.
UK Shipping: usually 5–7 business days. Think of it as a mini countdown to fabulousness.
International Shipping: anywhere from 5–30 business days, depending on customs and the general mood of the universe. (Zen breathing may help.)
During the Holiday rush, Black Friday, or other high-demand chaos, deliveries may slow down a bit — but I promise it’s worth the wait. Buyers are responsible for customs fees or VAT, because, alas, I do not yet rule the world.
So there you have it: the 9ct Gold Emerald and Diamond Dangly Earrings — timeless, symbolic, and just the right balance of ancient mystique and modern sass. Whether you’re gifting them, keeping them, or pretending they were a gift when really they weren’t — you’ll feel like you’ve just inherited the crown jewels.
Because, honestly, why shouldn’t you sparkle like Cleopatra on a payday? 💚👑
