{"product_id":"astraea-rubellite-oorbellen","title":"Astraea Rubellite Cascada","description":"\u003cp\u003eAstraea was never meant to be a flower. Elizabeth was working on a Zeeuwse knoop, the traditional filigree form from Zeeland, when the piece began to take a different shape in her hands. She followed it, and a flower emerged. Only later did she discover Astrantia, known in Dutch as \u003ci\u003eZeeuws knoopje\u003c\/i\u003e. That unexpected connection became the inspiration for the name Astraea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Astraea is built from two layers of filigree. Elizabeth works the upper layer in \u003ci\u003ealto relieve\u003c\/i\u003e, a three-dimensional technique that raises the fine wirework and gives the flower its sculptural form. Creating the two flowers alone requires considerable time and precision. The long drops add another level of handwork, with eight tiny filigree butterflies in total, each individually made by Elizabeth. Only then are the different elements brought together with the gemstone strands. It makes this one of the most labour-intensive designs in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of each flower, Elizabeth has hand-set a 4.5 mm faceted rubellite from Madagascar, sourced through Mara Gems. The stones come from small-scale mining and can be traced back to their mine of origin. Rubellite is the rich pink-to-red variety of tourmaline. Long strands of faceted rubellite, chrysoprase and citrine fall from the flowers, with the filigree butterflies moving freely among the stones as the earrings are worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gemstone drops are detachable, giving the earrings two very different expressions. Worn at full length, colour, filigree and movement come together in a striking pair of earrings. Remove the drops and the sculptural Astraea flowers remain as refined studs. The Astraea Rubellite Stud Earrings are also available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINFOBREAK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.3913%;\"\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.3913%;\"\u003e18K or 24K vermeil, 3 micron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eFaceted Rubellitet, 4,5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone beads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eFaceted rubellite, chrysoprase en citrine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eDetachable Cascade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to wear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eWith the Cascade or as studs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFastening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eButterfly back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStud dimension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eApprox. 28 x 28 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length with Cascade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eApprox. 95 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight per pair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 61.3913%;\"\u003eStuds approx. 9,6 g · with Cascade approx. 23,3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 38.2609%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px; width: 61.3913%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiligree, entirely handcrafted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Diosa del Alma","offers":[{"title":"Stud Earrings","offer_id":58344046428491,"sku":null,"price":1750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stud Earrings + Detachable Drops","offer_id":58344046461259,"sku":null,"price":3265.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/6848\/6475\/files\/diosa-del-alma-astraea-rubellite-cascada.png?v=1789591814","url":"https:\/\/diosadelalma.com\/en\/products\/astraea-rubellite-earrings","provider":"Diosa del Alma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
