Lily of the Valley Earrings with Mother-of-Pearl | Surgical Stainless Steel

Lily of the Valley As May arrives and the transparent light shines with increasing strength each day, the lilies of the valley gather, resembling ballerinas dancing in a corps de ballet on pointe, blooming modestly with their heads bowed in the shade of rocks and trees. We have transformed this vision into jewelry. The flower language of the lily of the valley is "return of happiness" and "purity." It is not a dominant flower, but rather a humble bloom with a somewhat introspective and mysterious aura. While this year may not be one for going out everywhere, like the lily of the valley, we wish to quietly bloom for ourselves, gently receiving the light of the season. Inspired by this sentiment, we have crafted these pieces with that wish in mind. Mother-of-pearl, with its iridescent rainbow hues within the light, is carefully finished in a gradient. Marquise-cut green onyx, reminiscent of the fresh veined leaves of the lily of the valley, is subtly added to create a delicate contrast. From an anecdote of Charles IX, the 12th King of France of the House of Valois, who joyfully received lilies of the valley in May, there is a custom in France to give them to loved ones during this month. It makes for a perfect gift to wish for the happiness of someone dear.
