A carved hematite rose sits at the center of each earring — its dark, mirror-polished surface catching light in a way that shifts between graphite and deep pewter. The surrounding silver tone frame is elaborate: open filigree scrollwork, acanthus leaf details, and a twisted rope inner bezel that echoes the Victorian mourning aesthetic the hematite material naturally invokes. Dramatic and deeply wearable, equally at home with black or with unexpected color.
